SOCIAL ANXIETY ACCORDING TO DSM IV
A. Marked and persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations in which
the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or to possible scrutiny by others. The
individual fears that he or she will act in a way (or show anxiety symptoms) that will be
humiliating or embarrassing. Note: In children, there must be evidence of the
capacity for age-appropriate social relationships with familiar people and the anxiety
must occur in peer settings, not just in interactions with adults.
B. Exposure to the feared social situation almost invariably provokes anxiety, which may
take the form of a situationally bound or situationally predisposed panic attack. Note:
In children, the anxiety may be expressed by crying, tantrums, freezing, or shrinking
from social situations with unfamiliar people.
C. The person recognizes that the fear is excessive or unreasonable. Note: In children, this
feature may be absent.
D. The feared social or performance situations are avoided or else are endured with
intense anxiety or distress.
E. The avoidance, anxious anticipation, or distress in the feared social or performance
situation(s) interferes significantly with the person’s normal routine, occupational
(academic) functioning, or social activities or relationships, or there is marked distress
about having the phobia.
F. In individuals under the age of 18, the duration is at least 6 months
G. The fear or avoidance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance
(e.g., drug abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition and is not better
accounted for by another mental disorder (e.g., panic disorder with or without
agoraphobia, separation anxiety disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, a pervasive
developmental disorder, or schizoid personality disorder).
