Social Anxiety UK Social Anxiety UK
Millions of people around the world suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder and related conditions. Despite being the most common type of anxiety disorder and the cause of much impairment and suffering, it is under-recognised and under-treated. Yet virtually everyone knows what it is like to feel shy or lacking in social confidence, often to an extent that can limit opportunities and happiness. The main aims of this site are to provide a starting point for people just finding out about SA and related issues. SA-UK is a volunteer-led organisation. Just finding out more about the issues and talking to other people who know what it is like to experience the same problems can be truly beneficial.
