One such treatment is individual cognitive therapy. This is in contrast to adults, for whom we have interventions with very specific treatment effects.
However, there is limited evidence on the specific efficacy of available therapies. There are clear potential benefits to delivering effective interventions during adolescence. Social anxiety in adolescence is associated with considerable impairment that persists through to adulthood. Age-of-onset data point to adolescence as a developmentally sensitive period for the emergence of the condition, at a time when the peer group becomes increasingly important. Social anxiety disorder is a condition characterised by a marked and persistent fear of being humiliated or scrutinised by others.
