Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I feel really nervous around people, and it’s starting to affect my daily life. I get anxious in social situations, and sometimes I even avoid them because of it. What can I do to manage this? Are there any medications that could help?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Feeling nervous around people can have different causes, like low confidence, fear of judgment, or distrust of others. The first step is to understand why you feel this way. If your nervousness is mild, techniques like practicing social skills or therapy can help. Medication is usually only needed if anxiety is severe and affects your daily life. A doctor can guide you on the best approach.

 

Thanks
