How Can Depression And Social Anxiety Be Treated?
I am asking about my depression. I was diagnosed with it in the beginning of the year, and I am only a teen. I also took a screening yesterday about social anxiety, and the screening said that I have it. I am scared and I want to prevent this from happening. Help?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please don't panic. Depression and social anxiety disorders are so common, a psychological problem. If you get alarmed, your worries will trigger the problems and you could feel more helpless. I suggest you keep your calm. Work with your psychiatrist or psychologist for medicines, relaxation therapy, and CBT.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
