Interested in hearing from real-life people who have suffered with social anxiety disorder (SAD)? Check out this excellent video called "Afraid of People", presented by "The Mind in Motion" television show and sponsored by Freedom From Fear, a non-profit organization dedicated to mental illness advocacy.
In this program, we meet three people, Pam, James, and Chris, who share their trials and triumphs related to SAD. The video also includes commentary by researchers in the field of SAD, and is hosted by Donny Osmond, a fellow SAD sufferer.
Although the video is no longer available at the above link, you can find it here:
