Phobia, Social

Phobia, Social: A persistent and unreasonable fear of social or performance situations, where the individual may feel embarrassed, judged, or humiliated.
This condition can significantly impact one's ability to engage in everyday social interactions and activities.
The causes of social phobia are complex, often involving a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.
Effective treatment options may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication, and support groups.
With the right interventions, individuals with social phobia can learn to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

The PHQ-9 consists of 9 items representing the criterion symptoms for DSM 5 major depressive disorder.31 (link) Respondents are asked how much each symptom has bothered them over the past 2 weeks, with response options of “not at all”, “several days”, “more than half the days”, and “nearly every day”, scored as 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The PHQ-9 can be scored as either a continuous variable from 0 to 27 (with higher scores representing more severe depression) or categorically using a diagnostic algorithm for major depressive or other depressive disorder. The GAD-7 has 7 items with response options identical to the PHQ-9 and therefore can be scored as a continuous variable from 0 to 21 (with higher scores representing more severe anxiety). Although originally developed as a measure to detect generalized anxiety disorder32 (link), the operating characteristics of the GAD-7 are nearly as good for the other common anxiety disorders in clinical practice – panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder.23 (link) The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 have strong internal and test-retest reliability as well as construct and factor-structure validity.20 (link) Moreover, both measures have proven sensitive to change when monitoring treatment response.20 (link);33 (link)-36 (link) The PHQ-ADS is the sum of the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores and thus can range from 0 to 48, with higher scores indicating higher levels of depression and anxiety symptomatology.

The Dunedin Study longitudinally ascertains mental disorders using a strategy akin to experience sampling: Every 2 to 6 years, we interview participants about past-year symptoms. Past-year reports maximize reliability and validity because recall of symptoms over longer periods has been shown to be inaccurate. It is possible that past-year reports separated by 1 to 5 years miss episodes of mental disorder occurring only in gaps between assessments. We tested for this possibility by using life-history calendar interviews to ascertain indicators of mental disorder occurring in the gaps between assessments, including inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, or spells taking prescribed psychiatric medication (indicators that are salient and recalled more reliably than individual symptoms). Life-history calendar data indicated that virtually all participants having a disorder consequential enough to be associated with treatment have been detected in our net of past-year diagnoses made at ages 18, 21, 26, 32, and 38. Specifically, we identified only 11 people who reported treatment but had not been captured in our net of diagnoses from ages 18 to 38 (many of whom had a brief postnatal depression).
Symptom counts for the examined disorders were assessed via private structured interviews using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (Robins, Cottler, Bucholz, & Compton, 1995 ) at ages 18, 21, 26, 32, and 38. Interviewers are health professionals, not lay interviewers. We studied DSM-defined symptoms of the following disorders that were repeatedly assessed in our longitudinal study (see Table S1 in the Supplemental Material available online): alcohol dependence, cannabis dependence, dependence on hard drugs, tobacco dependence (assessed with the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence; Heatherton, Kozlowski, Frecker, & Fagerström, 1991 (link)), conduct disorder, MDE, GAD, fears/phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), mania, and positive and negative schizophrenia symptoms. Ordinal measures represented the number of the 7 (e.g., mania and GAD) to 10 (e.g., alcohol dependence and cannabis dependence) observed DSM-defined symptoms associated with each disorder (see Table S1 in the Supplemental Material). Fears/phobias were assessed as the count of diagnoses for simple phobia, social phobia, agoraphobia, and panic disorder that a study member reported at each assessment. Symptoms were assessed without regard for hierarchical exclusionary rules to facilitate the examination of comorbidity. Of the 11 disorders, 4 were not assessed at every occasion, but each disorder was measured at least three times (see Fig. 1 for the structure of psychopathology models and see Table S1 in the Supplemental Material).
Elsewhere we have shown that the past-year prevalence rates of psychiatric disorders in the Dunedin cohort are similar to prevalence rates in nationwide surveys of the United States and New Zealand (Moffitt et al., 2010 (link)). Of the original 1,037 study members, we included 1.000 study members who had symptom count assessments for at least one age (871 study members had present symptom counts for all five assessment ages, 955 for four, 974 for three, and 989 for two). The 37 excluded study members comprised those who died or left the study before age 18 or who had such severe developmental disabilities that they could not be interviewed with the Diagnostic Interview Schedule.

We conducted parallel GWAS in nine samples of European ancestry and combined the results via meta-analysis. We applied two phenotypic strategies aimed at capturing common (pleiotropic) genetic effects shared across the five core ADs: GAD, PD, social phobia, agoraphobia, and specific phobias. We conducted two types of analyses in each sample based upon complementary approaches to modeling the comorbidity and common genetic risk across the ADs: (1) case-control (CC) comparisons, in which cases were designated as having “any AD” versus supernormal controls, and (2) quantitative factor scores (FS) estimated for every subject in the sample using confirmatory factor analysis.

Information was collected on participants’ gender identification, sexual orientation, perceived household wealth, and language spoken most at home. Participants were also asked to indicate whether they had ever been diagnosed with a range of mental illnesses (e.g., major depression, social anxiety disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder) by a professional, and to complete the Adapted Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System Adverse Childhood Experience Module (BRFSS-ACE). The BRFSS-ACE (e.g., Have you ever felt like your life was in serious danger or that you would be harmed?; Have you ever been in out-of-home or foster care?) is a widely used 8-item scale to assess adverse childhood experiences and has acceptable psychometric properties [38 (link)]. For both mental illness history and adverse childhood experiences, we calculated a composite score from item responses, which was then dichotomised to identify participants who had no mental illness history/adverse experiences and those who had a mental illness history/adverse experiences.

Participants must (a) identify as a mother (i.e., biological, adoptive, foster, step-mother, or another type of woman-identifying primary caregiver), (b) have a child between 6 and 18 months old at recruitment, (c) be 18 years old or above, (d) reside in Manitoba, Canada, with access to a cellular network, (e) score > 9 on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Item (PHQ-9) [35 (link)] and/or the General Anxiety Disorder-7 Item (GAD-7) [36 (link)], (f) complete a psychodiagnostic mental health assessment (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview; MINI) [34 ] and pre-intervention survey before randomization, (g) meet criteria for a major depressive episode and/or anxiety disorder (i.e., panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder) as assessed by the MINI, (h) be available to attend weekly telehealth groups, and (i) be comfortable understanding, reading, and speaking English. Exclusion criteria include: (a) a suicide attempt in the past year, (b) self-harm in the past 6 months, and/or (c) clinically significant psychotic symptoms, posttraumatic stress disorder, or alcohol/substance use disorder (identified on the MINI 34 ) which, based on clinical judgement, would make it unlikely for the individual to attend weekly group telehealth sessions and/or make treatment gains. The BEAM and MoodMission programs are not suitable to treat these acute mental health needs and as such mothers deemed ineligible for these reasons will be provided with local mental health resources more appropriate for their needs.

Symptoms of anxiety were observed monthly from mid-March 2021 to mid-June 2022 (see Figure 1) with two short data gaps (mid-May 2021 to mid-June 2021 and January 2022). The indicator was measured with the established ultra-brief screening instrument “Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2” (GAD-2), which has been found to perform well as a screening tool for anxiety disorders in the German general population (88 (link)). The GAD-2 captures the frequency of two core symptoms of anxiety disorders, asking, “Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?”: (1) “feeling nervous, anxious or on edge” (2) “not being able to stop or control worrying” (possible responses: 0 = “not at all,” 1 = “several days,” 2 = “more than half the days,” 3 = “nearly every day”). The total score of the GAD-2 ranges from 0 to 6 (no symptoms to severe symptoms). Scores ≥ 3 represent a positive screen for possible anxiety disorder, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder (88 (link)). In our analytical sample, the internal consistency of the GAD-2 is α = 0.67 (standardized alpha unstandardized α = 0.66), almost the same value as in a comparable German sample (45 (link)). Just as with depressive symptoms, two measures are reported: (1) the mean anxiety symptom score and (2) the proportion of the adult population screening positive for possible anxiety disorder.
