Did you know that anxiety disorders are the most common type of mental illnesses in America? Nearly 20% of the adult population (ages 18 and over) are affected by some form of anxiety disorder.
Because these types of mental illnesses are so widespread, there is a very good possibility that you or someone you know has experienced them to some degree.
But what does having an anxiety disorder feel like? In this documentary, people who deal with social anxiety give you a personal, in-depth look at the everyday struggles they have to overcome just to have a “normal” life.
Many people believe social anxiety to simply be feelings of nervousness or hesitation around other people, but it’s far more than that.
As the people in the documentary demonstrate, social anxiety is intensely terrifying–every single day. People affected with it are truly afraid of other people.
