How can depression and social anxiety be treated?
human
I am asking about my depression. I was diagnosed with it in the beginning of the year, and I am only a teen. I also took a screening yesterday about social anxiety, and the screening said that I have it. I am scared and I want to prevent this from happening. Help?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Please don't panic. Depression and social anxiety disorders are so common, a psychological problem. If you get alarmed, your worries will trigger the problems and you could feel more helpless. I suggest you keep your calm. Work with your psychiatrist or psychologist for medicines, relaxation therapy, and CBT. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. K. V. Anand
