Social phobia

What is social phobia?

It is very common to suffer from social anxiety. There is a general form of social phobia where you feel afraid of many different social situations. It can be talking on the phone on the subway, talking to the cashier, etc. There is also a more specific form of social anxiety where the person's anxiety is more focused on specific situations such as giving a talk, for example. Most people find giving presentations difficult, but most people can force themselves to do so when needed, for example in studies and in work. A person with social phobia suffers so much from it that it creates problems in the person's functioning, for example at work, leisure, relationships or in other areas.

We treat stress, fatigue syndrome and burnout

What is fatigue syndrome?

Our bodies are equipped for short periods of stress, so it is not something we usually get sick from. Stress as a condition involves the whole body. However, if the stress is prolonged and there are no periods of recovery, you can develop stress-related symptoms and fatigue syndrome. Common problems include sleep disturbances, stomach upset, persistent pain and high blood pressure. Prolonged stress also affects the immune system, making it more susceptible to infections. Common emotional reactions to prolonged stress include anxiety and/or depression, as well as feelings of tiredness, exhaustion and inadequacy. Sometimes there is a desire to isolate oneself. In addition, constantly experiencing too small margins can make it difficult to control emotional reactions. It is common for the person to have problems with memory and concentration, known as cognitive impairment. As for fatigue syndrome, it can manifest itself differently from person to person. Some people may experience anxiety or panic in addition to stress symptoms. Other people may become more depressed.
