Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is the third largest mental health care problem in the world today. So, what's the difference between social anxiety disorder and plain old shyness? Are people really judging us, and staring at us, or is it just all in our heads? More to the point, why do we even care? What are the irrational thoughts that drive social anxiety? How does it come to affect people's lives, and most importantly, what can we do to overcome it? All this and more in today's episode.
