A person suffering from social anxiety disorder has significant anxiety and discomfort about being embarrassed, humiliated, rejected or looked down on in social interactions. He will try to avoid the situation or endure it with great anxiety. Common examples are extreme fear of public speaking, meeting new people or eating/drinking in public. The fear or anxiety causes problems with daily functioning and lasts at least six months.
Social anxiety can prevent individuals from engaging in normal social situations due to an intense fear of judgment or embarrassment. Nafsology offers a combination of therapies, such as CBT and social skills training, to help patients overcome this fear and build confidence in social settings.

OCD is often marked by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Our therapeutic approaches focus on exposure and response prevention (ERP), a highly effective treatment for reducing obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

These fears cause such distress that some people go to extreme lengths to avoid what they fear. Examples are public speaking, fear of flying or fear of spiders or insects.

Agoraphobia is the fear of being in situations where escape may be difficult or embarrassing, or help might not be available. The fear is out of proportion to the actual situation and lasts generally six months or more and causes problems in functioning. A person can only be diagnosed with agoraphobia if the fear is significantly interferes with normal daily activities orintensely upsetting.
