May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health is an incredibly important part of overall health, and improving access to care is a central component of this month's initiative. Did you know:

◾ 1 in 5 U.S. adults have experienced a mental illness, yet only 45% of adults with mental illness receive treatment in a given year

◾ People with depression have a 40% higher risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases

◾ Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide

Although taking the first steps can be confusing or difficult, it's important to start exploring options if you are struggling with your mental health.

Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, isn't shyness. It is a common type of anxiety disorder. Someone with social anxiety disorder feels symptoms of anxiety where they may be scrutinized, evaluated or judged by others.

❓ Are you afraid of being judged by others?
❓ Do you feel self-conscious in everyday social situations?
❓ Do you avoid meeting new people due to fear and anxiety?

If you have been feeling this way for at least 6 months and these feelings make it hard for you to do everyday tasks such as talking to people at work or school - you may have social anxiety disorder.

If you are concerned about your social anxiety symptoms, request your confidential evaluation with a qualified Novum Psychiatry provider today. The first step to effective treatment is to get a diagnosis from a qualified professional with experience in social anxiety disorder.
