How Can Nervousness Be Treated?
hi i get nervous really easily. Id get nervous and shaky even when someone who i am not familiar with says hi to me. My heart starts to beat fast and i stutter and sometimes even freeze! I can no way give public speeches or ask questions in class because of this nervous feeling i get. I cant even play the piano in front of strangers because my whole body shakes. How can i stop this?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you have social phobia. In that case, you need antidepressant like paroxetine that would help to control anxiety. You can also try low dose benzodiazepine with relaxation techniques like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. You Should consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
