How To Control Fear, Nervousness When In Front Of A Crowd?

i shiver whenever im infornt of a crowd, when i speak (standing or seating or behind a pulpit), i move, i dance, i walk, i can't help it. I can't control it. The more im trying to control it, it worsens. Eversince i noticed myself so nervous, im trying to work it out by always trying to stand in a crowd whenever necessary, but its been years, am still the same. Should i think of something to lessen or control it.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I read your query and can understand your concerns regarding your symptoms. You seem to be suffering from anxiety disorder which is resulting in your being fidgety in front of crowd.

I suggest you seek psychiatric consultation for your symptoms. Your condition is amenable to treatment. Medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are safe and effective. Alternatively you can consider treatment with cognitive behavior therapy, where regular sessions will be taken focusing on relaxation and changing the fear of crowds.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
