Hi, thanks for the query. I would like to know your symptoms of social phobia. Usually social phobia is a disorder of excessive & unwarrented fears of unfavourable scrutiny by elders, seniors, strangers which causes avoidance of social situations. Are you suffering from any or all of these symptoms? If yes; You should consult a Psychiatrist (CIP Ranchi is a very good institute nearby you) for detailed evaluation & diagnosis. Social phobia is treated by combination of SSRI group medications (escitalopram, sertraline, paroxetine etc.) along with anxiolytic medications like propranolol, clonazepam etc. on sos basis. In addition, there are various talk & behaviour modification therapies named as Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) where you will be taught how to control anxiety provoking thoughts; role plays, relaxation exercises etc. Though bit long; but treatment is very effective & long lasting. Do revert back for further help.Good Luck
