Feeling incapacitated and anxious in social situations is not just a difficult thing to deal with, but an actual disorder that plagues many people in today’s world. It might make you feel a little better to know that you can combat and treat social anxiety disorder without the need for medications. Before we discuss this, let’s cover some basic information about the subject and define this mental health issue.
Having issues with being in social situations is usually caused by your own self-perception. How you see yourself affects how you react in a social setting. There are several symptoms that can alert you to any social anxiety disorder you have.
It can start as nervousness and become debilitating for some people to the point they avoid any social setting. Like many anxiety disorders, when social situations are a problem, you will likely experience sweating, heart palpitations and even chest pains.
It’s a panic attack that occurs when you are around a crowd of people and it can be overwhelming to say the least.
Many times there are ways to treat social anxiety disorder yourself without the need medications. Here are 4ways to help you to treat social anxiety disorder and regain your life.
1. Change your self-perception – You must first realize and accept that you are a worthwhile person. What you do in life is valuable in some way. Evaluate your worth by creating a list of things you have done that affected your life or the lives of others in a positive way. No matter what your station in life, you are valuable. Learn it and believe it.
2. Realize that perfection is not a goal – No one is perfect. Don’t place unrealistic expectations on yourself. You are human and humans are fallible. Perfection is a very unrealistic goal that will only serve to defeat your purpose of discovering your own self-worth.
3. Engage in conversation – What you have to say is important. Start with one person at a gathering and strike up a conversation about something that interests you. This will also help you realize how unfounded your fears are and allow you to feel more comfortable in large groups.
4. Allow others to approach you – Don’t worry about what anyone thinks of you. You should know your own worth and what others think is not your concern. Allow others at social gatherings to engage in conversation with you. You do not have to speak unless you want to speak. It is good to be a good listener as well.
I will say from my own personal experience, it is always best to have someone working with you to help treat social anxiety disorder, be it a counsellor or coach. Or look for anxiety communities on the web so you can interact with people who have similar problems to you.

I thank you. I just tell it like I see it.
Anxiety disorder is considered to be one of the worst mental conditions that affect human beings by making them prone to baseless and groundless worries but with the arrival of anti-anxiety medications like xanax in the pharmaceutical market, successful treatment of anxiety related disorders has become an instant possibility. But, instead of straightway moving ahead to use Xanax and other medicines to treat anxiety such as Buspar and Tenormin, you can log in to and get hold of fundamental tidbits on these medicines first.

Best way to Treat Anxiety –
“33 percent of patients initiated ADT at the first or second clinic visit.”
Patient initiated ADT? Ya gotta wonder who's been castrated here (sorry if this is in bad taste). Doctors should not perform treatments just because patients insist on it. I wonder if the scourge that is direct-to-consumer advertising has played a role in this. Patients see a drug on TV and demand that the doctor given it to them.
This is a very important article because the findings can be useful in other PC settings. We know that patients have HT, which is of questionable benefit and very unpleasant, because they're anxious. Also, patients with low-grade PC forgo active surveillance or convert to treatment because they're anxious.
The solution is to treat the anxiety. It can be done. I also think that if more men did not rush into treatment (which is common in other countries), some of the anxiety related to PC would abate. In the US our inclination is to always do something. So it's understandable that no guy wants to be the odd man out who holds off. I think we need a cultural shift. Abolishing payments to docs based on the number of procedures they do would also help.
PS: I'm not sure what the implications of this study are for younger patients.
Oh, I love this. And I kind of feel like I could have written it, too, only not as beautifully as you did. I completely, totally and entirely get exactly what you're saying.
(P. S. I recently started an AD to treat anxiety. I thought about you when I went to talk to my doctor about it, and I still think about you sometimes when I take my pill each night. I hope it doesn't creep you out that you're my reference for this, but that's how deeply what you've written on the subject touches me. And you know what? When that pill actually started to work it was as if I'd experienced an epiphany. Thank you for your part in that.)

Any suggestions for a non-prescription way to treat anxiety attacks and claustrophobia?
Leah says (and for once I don't disagree with her — just joking Leah!), “The solution is to treat the anxiety. It can be done.”
Of course it can be done, but will it? I don't think so, not while there are so many millions of dollars in play in creating anxiety about every facet of prostate cancer, from PSA testing/screening to the inappropriate tests and scans ordered, to the lack of clear indications of outcomes, to unneccesary adjuvant treatments (or should I say adjuvant treatments that have no demonstrable value … the list goes on. This anxiety drives men like beaters at a pheasant shoot, right into early treatment.
In the midst of all this gloomy outlook there is the faintest glimmer of light. I have personally experienced the change in attitude to what was called, so inappropriately, watchful waiting and which is now commonly referred to as active surveillance.
Thirteen years ago it was clear that the general view was that only fools and lunatics would consider such a step. The lunacy element has been removed now and men who follow this path, and the doctors who support that decisio,n are merely regarded as foolish. Perhaps as more time goes by and more studies are published, even that appellation might be removed.
I have been taking 200 mg of this product daily for about 3 months now. Apart from maybe slightly improved sleep it has done NOTHING to improve my mood. I am increasing the dose to 300mg to see if it makes any difference. What is going wrong that my brain can not produce serotonin even with these aids?
What are non perscription ways to treat anxiety?

I think you are right that the illegal drugs have been around so long and in such big quantities that people do know how to use them safely. Making them legal should allow for better quality. Let's legalize them.
I remember my days working on a psych ward in the Navy and how hard it was to get someone in a full manic episode to take their meds. What a come down. I think Lehrer had a bit about using pot to treat anxiety. Will be hard to get it past the drug prejudice of the social cons methinks.
