Teenagers and Social Anxiety

Page under Development

See pages 10-13 of NICE Social Anxiety Guidelines for the General Public.

The best NHS option for parents considered about their teenager’s social anxiety is to consider a referral to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). You can find your local NHS CAMHS service via www.nhs.uk/service-search/other-health-services/child-and-adolescent-mental-health-services-camhs but more often than not, the referral needs to come from the GP.
