Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Dear Naufal,

I went through your query and can understand the distress that you must be in due to your symptoms. The 'inferiority complex' and other symptoms that you have mentioned might be a result of underlying anxiety disorder, most probably social phobia.

I would recommend that you consult a psychiatrist so as to undergo detailed evaluation for proper assessment of your symptoms. Treatment of social phobia is possible with medications as well as psychotherapy.

Had I been your psychiatrist, I would have offered treatment with a combination of both. Medications would include one of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like sertraline or paroxetine. Psychotherapy would be cognitive behavior therapy focusing on improving your ability to relax and change the maladaptive thoughts that is leading to your symptoms.

I do hope that I was able to answer your query.

Best wishes.

Dr. Sunil Gupta
