Social anxiety disorder is a real medical condition. It affects over 16 million Americans

If you have social anxiety disorder, you often get very nervous around other people. It feels like everyone is watching you and judging you. You’re afraid of making a mistake, or looking like a fool. You will do all you can to keep that from happening. You may even avoid certain people, places or social events. Many patients find that by relieving their symptoms of depression, they feel more like themselves again. They may regain interest in their favorite activities and become more involved with family and friends again.

If you checked "no," TO BOTH OF THESE QUESTIONS go to question 4.

1. Has this ever happened before?
2. Do some of these attacks come suddenly out of the blue — that is, in situations where you don't expect to be nervous or uncomfortable?
3. Do these attacks bother you a lot or are you worried about having another attack?
   Think about your last anxiety attack.

11. Did you feel dizzy, unsteady, or faint?
12. Did you tremble or shake?
13. Were you afraid of dying?

STRESS
AMERICA'S #1 HEALTH PROBLEM
Surveys and Research Reports over the past two decades reveal that:

• 43% of all adults suffer adverse health effects due to stress.
• 75-90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related complaints or disorders.
• Stress has been linked to all the leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis, and suicide.
• An estimated 1 million workers are absent on an average workday because of stress related complaints. Stress is said to be responsible for more than half of the 550,000,000 workdays lost annually because of absenteeism.
• A three-year study conducted by a large corporation showed that 60% of employee absences were due to psychological problems such as stress.
• Nearly half of all American workers suffer from symptoms of burnout, a disabling reaction to stress on the job.

STRESS - GETTING WORSE AND MORE COSTLY

• The proportion of workers who reported "feeling highly stressed" more than doubled from 1985 to 1990.
• Job stress is estimated to cost U.S. Industry $300 billion annually, as assessed by absenteeism, diminished productivity, employee turnover, direct medical, legal and insurance fees, etc. 60-80% of industrial accidents are due to stress. Some, like the Exxon Valdez oil spill and Three Mile Island nuclear disaster have direct cleanup costs of billions of dollars, not to mention environmental damage that cannot even be estimated.
• Workers' compensation awards for job stress, rare two decades ago, have skyrocketed and threaten to bankrupt the system in some states. California employers shelled out almost $1 billion for medical and legal fees alone. Nine out of ten job stress suits are successful, with an average payout more than four times that for regular injury claims.
• The market for stress management programs, products, and services was $9.4 billion in 1995, and is projected to be $11.31 billion for 1999.
• 40% of worker turnover is due to job stress. The Xerox Corporation estimates that it costs approximately $1-$1.5 million to replace a top executive, and average employee turnover costs between $2,000 to $13,000 per individual.
• Workplace violence is rampant. There are almost 2 million reported instances of homicide, aggravated assault, rape or sexual assaults. Homicide is the second leading cause of fatal occupational injury and the leading cause of death for working women.
• Recent research has increasingly confirmed the important role of stress in cardiovascular disease, cancer, gastrointestinal, skin, neurologic and emotional disorders, and a host of disorders linked to immune system disturbances, ranging from the common cold and herpes, to arthritis, cancer, and AIDS.
