| Welcome to SA-UK |
Millions
of people around the world suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder (also known
as Social Phobia) and related conditions. Despite being the most common
type of anxiety disorder and the cause of much impairment and suffering, it is
under-recognised and under-treated. Yet virtually everyone knows what it is like
to feel shy or lacking in social confidence, often to an extent
that can limit opportunities and happiness. Because social anxiety issues
are still relatively unknown amongst the wider public, most aren't even
aware that the thing which can have such a huge impact on their lives has
a name.
The three main aims of this site are to provide a starting point
for people just finding out about SA and related issues, to enable them
to access further information through this site and through external
links; to act as a central hub for the community of those with social
anxiety problems in the UK; and to attempt to raise the profile of
SA problems and campaign for change, so that in future, people afflicted
by them don't have to suffer in silence as so many of us have done in the
past.
SA-UK is a volunteer-led organisation so don't expect a
miracle cure! However, most of us have found that just finding out more
about the issues and talking to other people who know what it is like to
experience the same problems has been truly beneficial. It might feel like
it sometimes, but you are not alone....
