Other Risks Associated With Social Anxiety and Depression
Several studies have shown that those people who have both social anxiety and depression at the same time may be at a higher risk for developing some other health issues. These include:
– Suicidal thoughts and behaviors
– Impaired occupational and social functioning
– A higher risk of issues with alcohol
– Reduced response to medical treatment
In addition, people with both conditions at the same time would be more likely to experience more chronic and severe symptoms. [8]
