The social anxiety paradox

with Mel McKendrick

Have you ever been so desperate to make a good impression that you feel that with every word that you say, you are creating the opposite one? Do you see disapproving faces everywhere you look so stop looking? Do compliments feel like pressure? Do presentations fill you with dread and in your head, practice makes you petrified rather than perfect? If so, you are not alone, with 12% of the population diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder, many more affected to a lesser degree and only 50% seeking treatment, low awareness and avoidance hinders rather than helps people who experience social anxiety. Yet the implications on quality of life and on society can be widespread. Join Dr Mel McKendrick and her STAR Lab team on a journey of social anxiety through personal stories and research.
