Do I have social anxiety? Social anxiety is often mixed up with
shyness. But there are some differences: shyness is a personality
trait (social anxiety is not), and shy people don’t experience
the negative emotions and feelings that accompany social anxiety.
Social anxiety is classified as a significant amount of fear,
embarrassment or humiliation in social performance-based situations.
This definition may be a little confusing and therefore I created
the social anxiety quiz for you. No difficult scientific language,
but plain and straight forward questions. You can find the answer to

Almost everyone has a period in their life in which he experiences feelings of sadness, emptiness or unhappiness. At these moments people prefer to stay at home in bed and cancel all appointments for the day. On such days, it is difficult to enjoy small things and to stay focused on a task for a while. These symptoms could be depression symptoms. ‘Depressive’ periods like these, vary per person in intensity (some people feel generally miserable while others suffer from severe depression symptoms) and duration (a few weeks to several years). Someone may experience some of the depression symptoms listed below mildly for about a year or two, while someone else may experience some of the symptoms severely for only a few months. Furthermore, for some people it is difficult to understand why they feel so sad, empty or unhappy. For many of us answering this why-question already takes too much energy. The depression symptoms easily overlap with several other illnesses, disorders or issues. Therefore professional therapists, psychiatrists and doctors carefully diagnose depression using these depression symptoms before they jump into conclusions and offer you ‘random’ treatments.
At Barends Psychology Practice, we treat various types of depression. Interested? Make an appointment for a first session now! Go to Contact us. (Depending on your health insurance, sometimes treatment may be reimbursed)
