How Can Social Anxiety Disorder Be Treated?

I know I have social anxiety disorders. not because some or a dr. has told me so but I pretty sure I know how I fell in certain situations around people or public events. I m 46 years old and I have live a pretty well life on my own but always hiding behind my true emotional problems and seems like the older I get the harder my feelings are . but I need serious help with my disorder now and wish I didn t but don t know what to do about it. I m married, with no children but suicidal thoughts have always been there but seem be to more now, but only because it doesn t seem to matter at age any more, is there real treatment out there that doesnt cost an arm and a leg that won t discourage me from seeking advice. I do have insurance

Dear user
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health condition in which social interactions cause irrational anxiety. For people with social anxiety disorder, everyday social interactions cause irrational anxiety, fear, self-consciousness and embarrassment. Symptoms may include excessive fear of situations in which one may be judged, worry about embarrassment or humiliation or concern about offending someone. Talk therapy or psychotherapy and antidepressants can help increase confidence and improve ability to interact with others. I suggest online psychotherapy and counseling.
