Many people have a crippling dread of social interaction called Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).

Ryan Wagoner, MD, associate professor of psychiatry in the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, said SAD is different from simply being shy, which he called a “personality trait” and manifests itself in such instances as a person feeling awkward walking into a room full of strangers or being nervous before a blind date.

SAD is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States, affecting 15 million adults and about 12 percent of the population at any given time, according to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America (ADAA) and the National Institute of Mental Health.
