What Causes Nervousness And Panic While Facing People?

uh, hi... er well I've done about 5 online self-assessment depression tests, and they all say I may have severe depression... but I'm only 12 (and three quarters....) and I'm in England... I don't want to talk to anyone as I get really nervous and everyone just thinks that I'm a hypocondriact (is that how you spell it?) anyway... I'd just embarrass myself... I'm even going red and panicky writing this now... any help?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello and thanks for writing in.

I understand that you are quite distressd by your psychological problems. From your brief description, I can see that you seem to be suffering from depressive as well ad anxiety symptoms.

You haven't given much details about your depressive symptoms except that multiple self assessment tools were indicative of the same. However, you seem to have a lot of anxiety symptoms such as nervousness, feeling panicky, going re, etc.

Since you seem to be very affected b these symptoms, I would advise you to seek professional help. You can ask your parents or guardian to take you to a psychiatrist for a consultation and further treatment. There are good treatment options, with medication and counselling which can help you come out of your problems.

Best wishes,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
