Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms like nervousness, feeling that everyone is looking at you etcetera are due to social anxiety. You can't stand in front of people and all these problems have caused loss of school and significant impairment. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for treatment.

Social anxiety is treatable with SSRI medicines like Sertraline, Escitalopram. In situations that provoke anxiety medicines like Propranolol can prove useful. The medicine helps to control symptoms of anxiety-like trembling, palpitations in presentations. Apart from that try relaxation exercises, yoga, meditation to keep you relaxed.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Seikhoo Bishnoi
