This study compared emotional experiences of 88 participants (44 with social anxiety disorder, 44 without) over 21 days using daily experience sampling. Individuals with SAD reported higher anger levels, particularly during interactions with distant others, and showed a unique pattern where daily anger predicted increased anxiety the following day, suggesting anger may maintain anxiety symptoms in SAD.
This open-label pilot study examined the feasibility of intensive 4-day cognitive behavior therapy for social anxiety disorder in 30 patients, using validated outcome measures including the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, GAD-7, and PHQ-9. Results showed large effect sizes for social anxiety symptoms and secondary improvements in generalized anxiety and depression, with 55% remission and 90% treatment response rates at 3-month follow-up.
This systematic review synthesizes evidence for treating social anxiety disorder, recommending SSRIs as first-line pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as the primary psychological intervention. Additional effective options include monoamine oxidase inhibitors, benzodiazepines, pregabalin, and psychodynamic approaches, with psychological interventions showing better long-term tolerability.
This retrospective cohort study analyzed electronic health records from 2011-2020 to compare the risk of new-onset anxiety disorders in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (a chronic skin condition) versus controls. Patients with HS had significantly higher incidence rates of anxiety disorders (5.74 vs 3.86 per 100 person-years), with adjusted analysis showing elevated risk even after controlling for demographic and clinical confounders.
A longitudinal study of 309 adolescents found that elevated startle reflex responses to unpredictable (but not predictable) threat at age 15 predicted the onset of generalized anxiety disorder by age 18, independent of prior anxiety history. Startle responses did not predict social anxiety disorder or depression, suggesting this biomarker is specific to GAD development risk.
