You may be wondering if the symptoms you have been experiencing are symptoms of social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia. Here is a quick self-test you can take to learn more about the symptoms and whether or not you might have social anxiety disorder.
When you are taking the quiz, answer the questions based on how you have been feeling during the past month. We use the term social situation in some questions, but we mean more than a party or other social gathering. In this case, consider situations in which you are around other people.
The symptoms we include in the quiz are based on the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition or DSM-IV. This is the manual that mental health providers use to determine whether or not their patients have a particular disorder. We have also included questions based on The National Institute of Mental Health's Social Phobia booklet.
