Anxiety refers to a group of disorders that are collectively the most common mental health condition in Australia. Every person experiences anxiety throughout their lives, but for some, anxiety is constant, overwhelming and interferes with their ability to go about their daily life.

Social phobia, the fear of being judged negatively, is often not recognised because patients do not like to talk about their fears. It is also not recognized because clinicians either confuse it with shyness, or judge the secondary depression or substance dependence to be the primary disorder.

Authors' conclusions:  Self-help may be useful for people who are not able or are not willing to use other services for people with anxiety disorders; for people who can access it, face-to-face cognitive behavioural therapy is probably clinically superior
