    Abstract:
    1. Social phobia is one of the anxiety disorders that until recently, had not been thoroughly investigated. 2. Social phobia is a relatively common anxiety disorder that appears to have a genetic basis. 3. There are certain physiological aspects of social phobia that separate it from the other anxiety disorders. 4. Support for a dopaminergic abnormality related to social phobia is supported by investigation studies and pharmacotherapy. 5. There are a number of studies reporting success in the treatment of social phobia with medications.
