Core symptoms:

 Marked and persistent fear or embarrassment of being ill-judged by others when faced with a social or performance-related situation

 Exposure to the feared performance or social situation will almost certainly lead to marked anxiety and may lead to a panic attack, although situations may be endured with the use of safety behaviours that attempt to mitigate the feared outcomes (Clark, 2001).

Common symptoms:

 Avoidance of situations where one could be the focus of attention.

In identifying social anxiety disorder vs depression, LICBT practitioners should consider why someone has withdrawn from social situations and which type of symptoms came first.
