The disorder leaves many isolated, ashamed and often misdiagnosed. Thirty-six percent of those with social anxiety disorder have symptoms for 10 years or more before seeking help, the Anxiety Disorders Association of America reports.
"Social anxiety disorder is when somebody has an intense, persistent and irrational fear of social or performance situations, " Jerilyn Ross, the association's president and CEO, said during a teleconference Wednesday.
"The condition causes people to avoid common, everyday situations and even other people for fear of being judged or criticized or humiliated or embarrassing themselves, " Ross said.
Social anxiety disorder can interfere with daily routines and job performance, Ross noted. "It also makes it very difficult for people to develop friends and romantic partnerships," she said.
People with this disorder recognize their fear is excessive and irrational, Ross noted. "But they feel powerless to do anything about it," she said.
Social anxiety disorder can start in the early teens, Dr. Mark H. Pollack, director of the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said during the teleconference.
"This is a disorder that starts affecting people early on, " Pollack said. "The typical age of onset is early adolescence, age 12 or 13, and many individuals report a history of anxiety dating back to earlier childhood."
The disorder also has physical symptoms, including heart palpitations, feelings that their throat will close up, sweating, blushing, faintness, trembling and stammering, Ross said.
Among people with the disorder, 75 percent said the condition affected their ability to do normal activities. In addition, 69 percent said they didn't want people to think they were crazy, and 58 percent said they were embarrassed by their condition, Ross said.
However, when the condition is diagnosed and treated, many reported improvement in their lives. In fact, 59 percent who were receiving treatment said treatment had a positive effect on their ability to have a romantic relationship. In addition, 39 percent who had received treatment said knowing that treatment can be successful aided their decision to get help, Ross noted.

听力原文：W: Now that we are nearing the end of our last year of school, I am very concerned about finding a job.
M: Have you checked with the employment resource center here at school？
W: Yes, there were one or two promising leads, but I'm hoping to find something a little better than those. I have a list of the most prominent accounting firms. I plan on sending my resume to each of them.
M: Tom told me that he has mailed out twenty resumes already.
W: The job market is very tight this year. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of the graduating class that will have to settle for something less than they hoped for or go to a less desirable part of the country.
M: Bob and Joe have contacted a headhunter. They hope by using those professional services they will be able to find a good position.
W: I thought of doing that myself, because their fee is too high. They would want nearly half of my first six months' salary.
M: What about that accounting firm your father's company uses？ Do you think he could give you a recommendation？
W: I hate to ask him to do that, but if my other leads don't work out, I'll ask him for help.
M: Networking the contacts you have is one of the best ways to find employment.
