You know that feeling when you're standing in the middle of a crowded shopping mall and you're suddenly overcome with anxiety? You can't name it or define it. You don't know where or why it came from, but you know that all you want is to escape.
You feel the world around you begin to whirl, appear nausea, you feel like you're about to pass out. Sound familiar? It could be a social phobiaa. And although you think you are completely alone with it, it affects up to one in 10 people in society.
What exactly is social phobia?
It's a feeling of anxiety that is disproportionate to the danger - because usually that danger is only in your head. This extreme anxiety stems from a sense of danger and leads to panic attacks, among other things.
Social phobia not only hinders one's ability to function, but often causes one to withdraw from social and community life altogether to avoid all fear-inducing situations. Do you know the feeling? If so, read on!
How do you recognize social phobia?
If you suspect you have a social phobia, it's always a good idea to start by cosnulting with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis - of course, if it really turns out to be a phobia. Symptoms that may worry you are:
- accelerated heartbeat
- nausea and dizziness
- shortness of breath and trembling
- panic attacks
Is it treatable?
Surely this is one of the questions that just popped into your head. And fortunately - yes. Social phobia can (and even should!) be treated. The most common treatment includes psychotherapy in the cognitive-behavioral stream and drug treatment.
However, medications prescribed for anxiety disorders have a long list of side effects. And while they help combat phobias, they also bring with them a host of unpleasant consequences, such as mood swings, weight gain, chronic fatigue, nausea, bloating or reduced libido.
In addition, many of the drugs can also exhibit addictive effects, and just getting the right drug and dosage can take several tries.
Social phobia and CBD oils - can it work?
It has not been known for a long time that CBD shows strong effects anti-anxiety and sedative. Many studies have already been conducted, the results of which clearly show that CBD positively influences treatment depressive states and anxiety disorders. Therefore, it also works equally well in supporting the treatment of social phobia. Products based on CBDs have great potential - they calm and improve sleep quality.
In addition, they are natural products so they are safe - they have no psychoactive effects, no side effects and cannot be overdone.
