Social Anxiety Treatment
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) affects individuals in social or performance situations, often causing intense fear of being judged or embarrassed. This condition can hinder personal and professional relationships, making it difficult for individuals to fully engage in life. At New Insights Health & Wellness, we provide specialized medication management to support therapy, creating a balanced approach to treating social anxiety.
Medications for social anxiety can help reduce both the physical and emotional symptoms, such as rapid heart rate, sweating, or the overwhelming fear of social situations. By calming these immediate responses, clients can engage more confidently in therapy, which focuses on understanding the root causes of their anxiety and learning coping mechanisms.
We work with therapists to prescribe medications such as:
SSRIs and SNRIs: These are often the first-line medications for managing the symptoms of social anxiety.
Beta-blockers: Commonly prescribed for performance-related anxiety, beta-blockers help manage the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heart rate and shaking.
Whether addressing generalized social anxiety or specific performance-related anxiety, our medication management solutions help clients achieve greater emotional stability, making it easier for them to focus on long-term improvement in therapy. This collaborative approach with therapists ensures that we respect the therapeutic relationship while providing essential medication support.
