Social phobia treatment

Social phobia can also be called social anxiety disorder. To put it more clearly, it is a mental illness in which people feel fear or anxiety about the external environment. It sounds complicated, but it is actually a mental illness. People with this disease will be afraid to speak in front of strangers, and even feel afraid to make phone calls or go to stores. Social phobia has so many harmful effects, so how should it be treated?

Social phobia is actually not the same as untreatable diseases such as cancer. In fact, it is just a psychological disease. This treatment method generally adopts a method of gradually increasing social situations to increase tolerance to fear, thereby achieving a treatment method for eliminating social phobia. So what kind of treatment method is this? Below, let the experts explain in detail the treatment of social phobia.

Treatment:

1. Hypnosis therapy: The psychoanalyst will hypnotize you and dig deep into your mind or memory to see if you have experienced some embarrassing events, trying to find the root cause of your illness. This treatment takes a long time and is relatively expensive.

2. Forced therapy: The doctor makes you stand on a busy street, or in front of the opposite sex you are very afraid of, using huge psychological stimulation to force you to undergo treatment.

3. Situational therapy: Let you constantly simulate the scenes of social phobia in an imaginary space and practice repeating the symptoms. The psychoanalyst will constantly encourage you to face this scene and let you adapt to this anxiety-producing environment through imagination.

4. Cognitive therapy: This is a therapeutic method that constantly instills ideas. The doctor keeps telling you that this fear is abnormal, and helps you to correctly understand the process of interpersonal communication and teaches you some methods of communicating with others.

5. Drug therapy: This is currently considered the most effective treatment method. The main reason for your illness is that it is caused by an imbalance of certain chemicals in your body, so certain types of drugs are used to regulate the balance.

6. Physical therapy: Transcranial microcurrent stimulation therapy is a treatment method that is completely different from traditional drug therapy and hypnosis therapy. It stimulates the brain through low-intensity trace electric currents, changes the patient's abnormal brain waves, and prompts the brain to secrete a series of neurotransmitters and hormones that are closely related to diseases such as social phobia and anxiety, thereby achieving the treatment of these diseases.

The above is the expert’s explanation of the treatment methods for social phobia. From it, we can see that social phobia can be cured. In normal life, we should not deny ourselves too much or be too demanding of ourselves. When encountering problems, we should find someone to talk to and not put too much pressure on ourselves in life.
