About this event

"Understanding Social Anxiety Disorder: An Interactive Webinar"

Join Exceptional Individuals for a webinar on Social Anxiety Disorder. This session explores how social interaction and communication challenges might indicate this often misunderstood condition.

Many adults with undiagnosed Social Anxiety Disorder may not realize that their difficulties in educational and work environments stem from a health issue outside their control.

Diagnosis of Social Anxiety Disorder is possible at any age by a trained healthcare professional using various assessment tools.

If you suspect you have Social Anxiety Disorder, use this webinar as a starting point for a discussion with your doctor.

Please note that this webinar is for educational purposes and cannot substitute for a professional diagnosis.
