Hi Apple,

There is no best treatment. Each individual human
being is different from other beings, conditioned by
his/her genes and background upbringing. A treatment
that works for one might not work as well for somebody
else. We can only find and emphasise generalities.

These days the treatments for Social Anxiety include
the arsenal of medical and behavioral. The best among
behavioral is CBT, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, where
by changing your wrong cognitions and by trying to do
and face what you fear, you change your personality
and get rid of anxiety. Medication helps in the path
to recovery because it reduces the anxiety and other
negative feelings and frees you to focus on CBT.

If you are interested and live in Toronto, you can
take your first step towards a positive change by
taking part in our meetings. There is advice and there
is support. You also have to seek help from
specialists in the field.

Cheers,

Rama
