Do social anxiety disorder medications help get a persons life back in order?
While medications can help reduce symptoms of social anxiety, they are not “cure-alls.” Personal problems resulting from social anxiety symptoms may continue to exist and unrelated life problems are unlikely to be helped by these medications. Psychotherapy or other forms of counseling may be helpful in dealing with such difficulties, but it is important that such adjunctive therapy be undertaken within the context of social anxiety disorder so as not to conflict with the primary treatment.
