“…In another study, the prevalence of subdiagnostic ADHD was 45.3% in university students with subdiagnostic social anxiety, compared to 32.7% for taijin kyofusho, and 18.8% for no subdiagnostic social anxiety ( Kajitani et al, 2021 ). Studies that investigated diagnostic ADHD in adults with diagnostic SAD reported prevalence rates of 1.1% ( Peyre et al, 2022 ), 3% ( Safren et al, 2001 ), 7.8% ( Mörtberg et al, 2012 ), 38.5% ( Van Ameringen et al, 2011 ), 40.1% ( Umutlu et al, 2022 ), 58.2% ( Yoldas et al, 2019 ), 62% ( Koyuncu et al, 2019 ), and 72.3% ( Koyuncu et al, 2015 ). All the forementioned studies comprised clinical samples.…”

Objective: This review aimed to systematically gather empirical data on the link between social anxiety disorder and ADHD in both clinical and non-clinical populations among adolescents and adults. Method: Literature searches were conducted in PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, resulting in 1,739 articles. After screening, 41 articles were included. Results were summarized using a narrative approach. Results: The prevalence of ADHD in adolescents and adults with SAD ranged from 1.1% to 72.3%, while the prevalence of SAD in those with ADHD ranged from 0.04% to 49.5%. Studies indicate that individuals with both SAD and ADHD exhibit greater impairments. All studies were judged to be of weak quality, except for two studies which were rated moderate quality. Discussion: Individuals with SAD should be screened for ADHD and vice versa, to identify this common comorbidity earlier. Further research is needed to better understand the prevalence of comorbid ADHD and SAD in adolescents.

“…Anxiety disorders, including SAD, are the most common psychiatric disorders [4], and mild (subthreshold) forms are common and cause significant disability [5]. The onset of SAD often occurs in the early to midadolescent years [6], with most of the patients having the disorder before their 20s [7]. The adolescent years represent a life stage where interpersonal relationships become more complex, leading to a heightened susceptibility to anxiety in social situations.…”

Background: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a common mental disorder in adolescents and young adults. Early intervention and support could help prevent the development of full-blown SAD. Considering that adolescents with social anxiety symptoms do not prefer face-to-face sessions due to their fear of communicating with therapists, an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) was implemented.Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of complete self-help ICBT for subthreshold SAD in high school and college students with no history of mental disorders.Methods: A multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to demonstrate the objective was conducted from December 2022 to October 2023. Participants were students enrolled at six universities and one high school. The intervention was a complete self-help ICBT and consisted of 10 text-based sessions that taught cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques for social anxiety in youth and young adults. The comparison was a no-treatment condition (control group), which was randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio by a computer program. Two psychological scales were used to assess the severity of social anxiety, and one each to measure symptoms of depression, general anxiety, and quality of life (QoL).

“…Impressively, their findings remained significant after controlling for psychiatric comorbidity and a host of genetic and social factors (utilizing data from siblings without SAD). Peyre and colleagues 33 utilized data from a large, nationally representative epidemiological survey to examine the relationship between age of onset of SAD and functioning. Interestingly, they found that a later age of onset was associated with greater psychiatric comorbidity and diminished quality of life.…”

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by persistent anxiety or avoidance of social situations because of a fear of negative evaluation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) (typically with an exposure component) is a first-line treatment for social anxiety, but there remains room for improvement with regard to treatment efficacy. Therefore, the field continues to better understand the mechanisms underlying SAD and its common and complex comorbidities in order to develop targeted interventions to improve symptom outcomes. Additionally, efforts are under way to improve the efficacy and accessibility of CBT. This review outlines major advances in understanding and treating SAD in adults over the past roughly 3 years (2019 to early May 2022). Themes are identified and discussed, as are recommendations for future research.
