In this insightful episode of Two Shrinks & A Mic, Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross break down one of the most common yet misunderstood conditions—social anxiety disorder. They explain how it differs from shyness, introversion, or antisocial behavior, and why it’s become increasingly prevalent in today’s post-pandemic, social media-driven world.

The doctors share real-world examples, discuss the roots of anticipatory worry and overthinking, and offer practical treatment approaches—from cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure exercises to innovative tools like virtual reality therapy. They also explore how medication can help when used thoughtfully and why lasting recovery comes from retraining the brain through practice and compassion.

If you’ve ever felt nervous in social settings or wondered why anxiety seems to take over in simple situations, this conversation will help you understand the science, the psychology, and the hope behind healing.
