Earlier, Totla shared ways to help someone suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). SAD, for those who don’t know, is a mental health condition that can cause anxiety while making social interactions. Those with SAD tend to feel uncomfortable while speaking in public, interacting with strangers, making eye contact, going to social gatherings, etc.

Here are few tips as recommended by Totla:

• Be patient and ask them what they need. Give them time and space to feel and heal.
• Focus on their feelings and triggers rather than how it makes you feel. Avoid criticism or blame-game.
• Encourage treatment by a mental health expert and support their recovery.
• If anxiety sets in, try to distract them with relaxing activities like taking a walk or playing a game.
• Praise small steps in their recovery process. Voice how proud you are of them.
