social phobia New Zealand

Social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder, is a common mental health condition characterized by intense fear and anxiety related to social or performance situations. Individuals with social phobia may experience intense fear of being judged or evaluated by others, and this fear may lead to avoidance of certain situations or difficulty functioning in certain settings. In New Zealand, social phobia is a prevalent mental health disorder.
A study published in 2013 estimated that the 12-month prevalence of social anxiety disorder was 7.1% in the New Zealand adult population. However, access to mental health care can be limited, and many individuals may not receive a proper diagnosis or treatment for social phobia in New Zealand.
