Is There a Relationship Between OCD and Social Anxiety Disorder/Phobia (SAD)?
Many people experience anxiety at some point in their life as it relates to social situations. However, some individuals are so distressed about engaging in social situations that it interferes with their daily life. OCD and SAD are both anxiety disorders that can render someone disabled and require treatment. I am a therapist in the community and have worked with numerous people diagnosed with Social Anxiety, OCD, and Panic Disorder. I would like to impart some of my knowledge from my years working at the UCLA OCD Intensive Treatment Program and private practice.
