Question:
I'm pretty sure I have social anxiety disorder, I really would like to get diagnosed but I've been putting it off for years bc I know it'll be hell to be around the psychiatrist/therapist (Idk what they're called). I'm a 17 year old female and my mom is mentally ill, she doesn't think I need to be going to these things, spending our money. I don't know what to do or who to contact.
Answers:
First talk to your school counselor and ask for recommendations to therapists that can help with your social anxiety. Seeing a therapist is not bad and they could help you before you become an adult and the problem gets worse.
Explain to your mother that you are not well and need the assistance of a therapist.
Not all people with social anxiety disorder are on medication. So I would start with a therapist before seeing a psychiatrist.
talk to a school counsler ...
