Hi, Social anxiety disorder can be treated by two modalities. The first one is medications. These primarily include SSRI group of medications together with benzodiazepines. However, there are multitude of drugs available to chose from. Often a combination of medications is required. The second mode of treatment is psychotherapy. Of all types of psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavior therapy is the most common type and the mst effective type used. It consists of weekly or bi-weekly sessions which will focus on reducing anxiety in social situations. The best possible results are often seen when a combination of medications and Cognitive behavior therapy is used together. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
