Social Phobia Developmental Aspects

Kagan et al. reported that behavioural inhibition in childhood might be a risk factor for the later development of anxiety and mood disorders. Social anxiety, behavioural inhibition, and interpersonal sensitivity seem to constitute often morbid antecedents of various mental disorders; SP and APD are in fact frequently in comorbidity with various anxiety and mood disorders and tend to precede their onset.

From a pathogenic perspective, this may be considered either a predisposing factor, or as early expression of the disorder that will evolve, in less severe forms also. This finding implies that diagnostic categories, utilised for classification of pathological phenomena related to social anxiety, are still widely discussed. Insecurity in interpersonal and social situations, and perception of inadequacy in front of others are important variables for a correct clinical lecture of various psychopathological syndromes.
