INTRODUCTION AREA OF WORK 5
In this module the researcher applied all learnt skills and understanding of fundamentals of design and design process to work on a design brief that was developed along with their tutors. It included the application of the acquired technical skills relevant to the chosen specialism. So as it started the researcher’s mind was rushing through many different topics in which they could research on. The journey started from brain storming on environmental issues to demoting animal skin trade by planning to design an eco-friendly dress and finally landed up on a topic/disorder which is faced by many people all around the globe i.e. Social Anxiety Disorder. It is a disorder or social phobia in which person has an excessive and unreasonable fear of social situations, they are bound to get scared of speaking in public and being closely watched, judged, and criticized by others. The researcher went through some case studies in forums and blogs which fascinated them even more to research and know more about this disorder. Going further they researched about its types, causes, symptoms, prevention and its cultural aspects. Moving further it was found that social anxiety has many
causes and symptoms making it a vast research topic. So, an objective was made to specifically study more about Lack Of Confidence in People. The researcher went through few more case studies to know what people exactly feel when they face public interactions. Self confidence plays a vital role for becoming a good speaker. It is a belief/faith that every person should have on themselves. During adolescence, self-confidence is affected by age, race, ethnicity, puberty, health, body height, body weight, body image, involvement in physical activities, gender presentation, gender identity, and awakening or discovery of sexuality. Self-confidence can vary and be observed in a variety of dimensions. Components of one’s social and academic life affect self-esteem. An individual’s self-confidence can vary in different environments, such as at home or in school. So a perfect kind of guidance and nurture is needed to build up unshakable self confidence. Parent’s support and guidance is very much important at the same time.
Self Confidence Is The Best Outfit, Rock It and Own it. 8

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF ANXIETY DISORDERS?

There are several recognized types of anxiety disorders, including: Panic disorder: • People with this condition have feelings of terror that strike suddenly and repeatedly with no warning. Other symptoms of a panic attack include sweating, chest pain, palpitations (unusually strong or irregular heartbeats), and a feeling of choking, which may make the person feel like he or she is having aheart attack or “going crazy.” Social anxiety disorder: • Also called social phobia, social anxiety disorder involves overwhelming worry and self-consciousness about everyday social situations. The worry often centers on a fear of being judged by others, or behaving in a way that might cause embarrassment or lead to ridicule. Specific phobias: • A specific phobia is an intense fear of a specific object or situation, such as snakes, heights, or flying. The level of fear is usually inappropriate to the situation and may cause the person to avoid common, everyday situations. Generalized anxiety dis• order: This disorder involves excessive, unrealistic worry and tension, even if there is little or nothing to provoke the anxiety.

SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER Social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia, is an anxiety disorder in which a person has an excessive and unreasonable fear of social situations. Anxiety (intense nervousness) and self-consciousness arise from a fear of being closely watched, judged, and criticized by others. A person with social anxiety disorder is afraid that he or she will make mistakes, look bad, and be embarrassed or humiliated in front of others. The fear may be made worse by a lack of social skills or experience in social situations. The anxiety can build into a panic attack. As a result of the fear, the person endures certain social situations in extreme distress or may avoid them altogether. In addition, people with social anxiety disorder often suffer “anticipatory” anxiety -- the fear of a situation before it even happens -- for days or weeks before the event. People with social anxiety disorder may be afraid of a specific situation, such as speaking in public. However, most people with social anxiety disorder fear more than one social situation. Situations that commonly provoke anxiety include: • Eating or drinking in front of others. • Writing or working in front of others. • Being the center of attention. • Interacting with people, including dating or going to parties. • Asking questions or giving reports in groups. • Using public toilets. • Talking on the telephone.

WHAT CAUSES
SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER 11
There is no single known cause of social anxiety disorder, but research suggests that biological, psychological, and environmental factors may play a role in its development.
Biological: Social anxiety disorder is cur• rently thought to be related to abnormal functioning of brain circuits that regulate emotion and the “fight or flight” response center in the brain. Genetic factors may also contribute, because social anxiety may be somewhat more likely to occur when it is also present in a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or child). Psychological: The development of social • anxiety disorder may stem from embarrassing or humiliating social experiences in the past, such as being bullied or neglected by peers. Environmental: People with social anx• iety disorder may develop their fear from observing the behavior of others or seeing what happened to someone else as the result of their behavior (such as being laughed at or made fun of). Further, children who are sheltered or overprotected by their parents may not learn good social skills as part of their normal development.
12
PREVENTION Anxiety disorders cannot be prevented; however, there are some things you can do to control or lessen symptoms:
• Stop or reduce consumption of products that contain caffeine, such as coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, and chocolate. • Ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking any over-the-counter medicines or herbal remedies. Many contain chemicals that can increase anxiety symptoms. • Seek counseling and support if you start to regularly feel anxious with no apparent cause.
13
Emotional symptoms of social anxiety disorder / social phobia • Excessive self-consciousness and anxiety in everyday social situations • Intense worry for days, weeks, or even months before an upcoming social situation • Extreme fear of being watched or judged by others, especially people you don’t know • Fear that you’ll act in ways that that will embarrass or humiliate yourself • Fear that others will notice that you’re nervous Physical symptoms of social anxiety disorder / social phobia • Red face, or blushing • Shortness of breath • Upset stomach (i.e. butterflies) • Trembling or shaking (including shaky voice) • Racing heart or tightness in chest • Feeling dizzy or faint • Feelings of panic, fear, and uneasiness • Problems sleeping • Cold or sweaty hands and/or feet • Heart palpitations • An inability to be still and calm • Dry mouth • Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet • Nausea • Muscle tension Behavioral symptoms of social anxiety disorder / social phobia • Avoiding social situations to a degree that limits your activities or disrupts your life • Staying quiet or hiding in the background in order to escape notice and embarrassment 12 • A need to always bring a buddy along with you wherever you go • Drinking before social situations in order to soothe your nerves.
SYMPTOMS 14
How Are Anxiety Disorders Diagnosed? If symptoms of an anxiety disorder are present, the doctor will begin an evaluation by asking you questions about your medical history and performing a physical exam. Although there are no lab tests to specifically diagnose anxiety disorders, the doctor may use various tests to look for physical illness as the cause of the symptoms.
If no physical illness is found, you may be referred to a psychiatrist,psychologist, or another mental health professional who is specially trained to diagnose and treat mental illnesses. Psychiatrists and psychologists use specially designed interview and assessment tools to evaluate a person for an anxiety disorder.
The doctor bases his or her diagnosis on the patient’s report of the intensity and duration of symptoms -- including any problems with daily functioning caused by the symptoms -- and the doctor’s observation of the patient’s attitude and behavior. The doctor then determines if the patient’s symptoms and degree of dysfunction indicate a specific anxiety disorder.

One of every four Indians affected by anxiety disorders, 10% are depressed Depression affects 10% of Indians but day-to-day anxieties are sending more Indians round the bend, say doctors ahead of World Mental Health Day. Anxiety, affecting 25% of the population, is possibly the first stage to the serious-to-handle depression if not addressed. The irritated colleague, the weepy spouse, the cleanliness-obsessed in-law and the speeding driver full of road rage are commonplace examples of mental illnesses stalking the city. “One out of four persons in urban centres suffers from some diagnosable form of mental illness,” said social psychiatrist Harish Shetty, adding people rush to “bars, body gyms, brain shrinks, breath gurus and babas,” for a solution. Quoting a survey conducted among family physicians over a decade back, he says one of four Mumbaikars has stress or anxiety. Every fifth Indian suffers from anxiety disorder, or so goes the unwritten belief among India’s psychiatrists. Psychiatry teacher Dr Bharat Shah says though there are no real figures collated in India on anxiety disorders, doctors feel the increasing number of patients indicate incidence is rising. “We can blame it on competitiveness, drive for money, overcrowding in cities and other factors that lead to stress,” says Dr Shah who teaches at Somaiya Medical College in Sion. A study in Behavioural Neurosciences in 2006, said being stressed out for long increased anxiety. The medical reasoning is that stress hormones, like cortisol and corticotropin-releasing hormone, which help respond to an immediate threat, end up boosting anxiety when stress continues to stay high.
But the anxiety-depression connection is worrying doctors more. Dr B N Gangadhar from NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health And Neurosciences) in Bangalore said, “It can be said that anxiety disorder is the first step towards depression.” This is especially true about the elderly. “If senior citizens suddenly become anxious, then it is the first sign of impending depression,” he said. Dr Shetty said Google hangouts and Skype are not enough for the elderly. “Many senior citizens are so lonely, they want to be hospitalised for a common cold as there is no one to talk to them at home,” Dr Shetty said. However, Dr Gangadhar doesn’t feel there is an epidemic of anxieties in the country. “It is only when there are riots, terror attacks or financial downturns-in other words events that affect the entire society-that there is a spurt in anxiety disorders,’’ he said. The key is to stop anxieties from developing into depression. “Relaxation techniques, yoga and exercises are a big help. But substance abuse, cigarettes and overthe-counter pills should be avoided,” said Dr Gangadhar.
CuLturAL AsPeCts 16
TREATMENT Medication : Doctors also may pre-
scribe medication to help treat social phobia. The most commonly prescribed medications for social phobia are anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants. Anti-anxiety medications are powerful and there are different types. Antidepressants are used to treat depression, but they are also helpful for social phobia. They are probably more commonly prescribed for social phobia than anti-anxiety medications. Some may cause side effects such as headache,
17
nausea, or difficulty sleeping. These side effects are usually not a problem for most people, especially if the dose starts off low and is increased slowly over time. Talk to doctor about any side effects you may have. A type of antidepressant called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are especially effective in treating social phobia. However, they are rarely used as a first line of treatment because when MAOIs are combined with certain foods or other medicines, dangerous
side effects can occur. It’s important to know that although antidepressants can be safe and effective for many people, they may be risky for some, especially children, teens, and young adults. A “black box”—the most serious type of warning that a prescription drug can have—has been added to the labels of antidepressant medications. These labels warn people that antidepressants may cause some people to have suicidal thoughts or make suicide attempts.
Psychotherapy:. A type of psy-
chotherapy called Cognitive behavior therapy (cbt) is especially useful for treating social phobia. It teaches a person different ways of thinking, behaving, and reacting to situations that help him or her feel less anxious and fearful. It can also help people learn and practice social skills

yogA How can yoga exercises help get over anxiety? Regular yoga practice can help you stay calm and relaxed in daily life and can also give you the strength to face events as they come without getting restless. Yoga practice ideally includes the complete package of asanas (body postures), pranayamas (breathing techniques), meditation, and the ancient yoga philosophy, all of which has helped several anxiety patients recover and face life with new positivity and strength. 1) Move your body and relieve your mind of stress with asanas. These yoga postures can help achieve a happy and healthy mind and body. Asanas help release tension and negativity from the system. • • • • • • • • • •
Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) Matsyasana (Fish Pose) Janu Shirsasana (One-Legged Forward Bend) Setubandhasana (Bridge Pose) Marjariasana (Cat Stretch) Paschimottanasana (Two-Legged Forward Bend) Hastapadasana (Standing Forward Bend) Adhomukha Shwanasana (Downward Facing Dog) Shirshasana (Headstand) Shavasana (Corpse Pose).
2) Breathe right with pranayamas to relieve anxiety Taking your attention to the breath can help free the mind of the unnecessary clutter of thoughts that breed anxiety. Try the following breathing practices: • Kapal Bhati Pranayama (Skull-Shining Breathing Technique) • Bhastrika Pranayama • Nadi Shodhan Pranayama (Alternate Nostril Breathing) – effective in releasing stress from the system (where the exhalation is longer than the inhalation) •
19
Bhramari Pranayama (Bee Breath)
3) Meditate to enjoy the gift of a relaxed mind Meditation can be an excellent technique to relax a distracted mind, give you a sense of calm and peace, and also observe with daily practice how your mind works to keep you involved in small, petty things around. It can also help you not worry too much or get anxious of the unknown future. You might have often heard the term ‘adrenalin rush’. This happens when we get too anxious about a potential threat. For instance, while taking an adventure ride. At such a time, the level of adrenalin hormone goes higher, leading our heart to beat faster, making the muscles tense and our body sweat profusely. Scientific research has shown that regular meditation practice can help significantly reduce the level of this stress hormone. 4) Apply yoga philosophy in your life: Stay happy and enjoy every moment Knowing and applying the ancient yoga knowledge in daily life, which talks about some simple yet profound principles (yamas and niyamas) of yoga, can be the secret to happy and healthy living. For instance, the Santosha principle (niyama) teaches the value of contentment. The Aprigraha principle can help us overcome greediness or the desire to keep possessing more, which can be a reason for stress and anxiety. Also, the Shaucha principle talks about cleanliness of the mind and body. This rule can particularly help if you tend to get too anxious about catching infectious diseases. The yamas and niyamas of yoga will also help us eat nutritious food and live a healthy lifestyle which greatly helps to overcome anxiety and stress. To understand the yoga philosophy, you may consider reading Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Commentary on Patanjali Yoga Sutras.
5) Pray, keep faith and smile! 6) Think about what you can do for others 7) Remember a similar past situation when you could overcome anxiety 8) Keep positive company around you
When you spend more time with positive-minded people, you are influenced by similar thoughts, which reflects in your overall attitude to life. Only a positive mind can breed joy, peace and relaxation.

WAYS OF DEALING SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER 21
1. Stay away from negativity and bring on the positivity This is the time to really evaluate your inner circle, including friends and family. This is a tough one, but it’s time to seriously consider getting away from those individuals who put you down and shred your confidence. Even a temporary break from Debbie Downer can make a huge difference and help you make strides toward more self-confidence. Be positive, even if you’re not feeling it quite yet. Put some positive enthusiasm into your interactions with others and hit the ground running, excited to begin your next project. Stop focusing on the problems in your life and instead begin to focus on solutions and making positive changes.
2. Change your body language and image This is where posture, smiling, eye contact, and speech slowly come into play. Just the simple act of pulling your shoulders back gives others the impression that you are a confident person. Smiling will not only make you feel better, but will make others feel more comfortable around you. Imagine a person with good posture and a smile and you’ll be envisioning someone who is self-confident. Look at the person you are speaking to, not at your shoes--keeping eye contact shows confidence. Last, speak slowly. Research has proved that those who take the time to speak slowly and clearly feel more self-confidence and appear more self-confident to others. The added bonus is they will actually be able to understand what you are saying. Go the extra mile and style your hair, give yourself a clean shave, and dress nicely. Not only will this make you feel better about yourself, but others are more likely to perceive you as successful and self-confident as well. A great tip: When you purchase a new outfit, practice wearing it at home first to get past any wardrobe malfunctions before heading out.
4. Be prepared
Learn everything there is to know about your field, job, presentation--whatever is next on your “to conquer” list. If you are prepared, and have the knowledge to back it up, your self-confidence will soar.
22
3. Don’t accept failure and get rid of the negative voices in your head Never give up. Never accept failure. There is a solution to everything, so why would you want to throw in the towel? Make this your new mantra. Succeeding through great adversity is a huge confidence booster. Low self-confidence is often caused by the negative thoughts running through our minds on an endless track. If you are constantly bashing yourself and saying you’re not good enough, aren’t attractive enough, aren’t smart enough or athletic enough, and on and on, you are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. You are becoming what you are preaching inside your head, and that’s not good. The next time you hear that negativity in your head, switch it immediately to a positive affirmation and keep it up until it hits the caliber of a self-confidence boost.
5. For tough times, when all else fails: Create a great list
Life is full of challenges and there are times when it’s difficult to keep our self-confidence up. Sit down right now and make a list of all the things in your life that you are thankful for, and another list of all the things you are proud of accomplishing. Once your lists are complete, post them on your refrigerator door, on the wall by your desk, on your bathroom mirror--somewhere where you can easily be reminded of what an amazing life you have and what an amazing person you really are. If you feel your self-confidence dwindling, take a look at those lists and let yourself feel and be inspired all over again by you.

INTERVIEWS OF PSYCHOLOGISTS The following interview was taken of Psychologist Dr. Murray Stein.
1)
How does a person suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder behave?
Person having assume thing. They keep telling stories in their head. Social Anxiety is created by thoughts not by facts. It has an element of shyness, but the concern of people having SAD is they think that when they are around other people there is a potential for other people to speak bad about them.
2)
Can you share an example to understand SAD better?
3)
When can we say that a person has Social Anxiety Disorder?
Eg : If they are eating in a restaurant they will think that they are going to spill something on them, people are going to notice their hand shaking. As a result they start avoiding those sorts of situation.
For us to say if somebody has Social Anxiety Disorder these kinds of fear of being scrutinized by other people, or at a point when the fear interferes in their social life because of which they cant go out, cant meet people, cant progress in school because they reach at point where they have to present their projects and so they divert themselves from working. So when it reaches to the point where there is inner fear about things, they are trying to do or things they want to do in future, then we can say they have social anxiety disorder.It’s a matter of severity.
4)
Why is that people suffering from SAD never seek for help?
In part it is because, often they have it for so long, most people with SAD have it ever since childhood, they just see it as a part of them. Also lack of awareness about SAD can also make them avoid help from doctors.
25 21
The following interview was taken of Psychologist H’vovi Bhagwagar.
1)
How does a person suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder behave?
The people suffering from social anxiety disorder are not mute, they will speak but they would take safety behaviour. They may speak fast, they may speak from the back of the class, they may observe from somebody else and then start speaking. You can have: Exclusion criteria: Test them for social anxiety disorder first you will get SAD scales in the internet. See if they are meeting SAD criteria and then take them to the workshop.
2)
What activities can be kept in the workshops?
You can give them 5 minutes speech to write on the memorable day and let them test their own assumptions. Ask them to email you those negative assumptions. In this way, their assumptions would be challenged in their own mind, their automatic thoughts would be discovered and they automatically be in the track of treatment. Also, the psychologist will also get an idea and understanding about the patient’s level of anxiety. Thus, observing their assumptions psychologist can work on the ways to treat their anxiety. You should keep CBT for Social Anxiety Disorder for the workshop
3)
Do people suffering from SAD have Panic Attacks?
People with SAD do not have panic attacks.
4)
Can yoga be one of the elements of the workshop?
5)
So can I keep sessions to enhance the level of confidence in the attendees?
Yoga is only beneficial when they have severe panic attacks which are not in every case of Social Anxiety Disorder. The most beneficial remedy for people with SAD is to work on their negative assumption and make it positive.
Lack of confidence is a symptom or a very lay man way of saying. SAD is very different from having shyness or lack of confidence. A person with shyness and lack of confidence will go out and make public appearance, but they would be able to tolerate it. Whereas, people with SAD have so many monitoring beliefs that they feel handicapped from going out and speaking. Person with SAD would be so distress that that may not sleep at night; they may take sleeping pills, anxiety relaxation pills.

DATA ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS
The earth indeed is a globe of emotions, where every survivor has to fight back to gain something in life. Every emotional aspect has a definition. The competition is increasing. In order to cope up with the increasing competition people needs to sharpen their skills.Good communication skills are key to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, frustration, or even disaster by being misinterpreted or poorly delivered.Communication plays a very vital role when it comes to achieve something. Being able to communicate effectively is the most important of all life skills. Developing your communication skills can help all aspects of your life, from your professional life to social gatherings and everything in between. The ability to communicate information accurately, clearly and as intended, is a vital life skill and something that should not be overlooked. It’s never too late to work on your communication skills and by doing so improve your quality of life.
27
In today’s highly informational and technological environment it has become increasingly important to have good communication skills. While many individuals still continue to struggle, the inability to communicate effectively will hold them back not only in their careers, but in social and personal relationships. Talking about the inability to communicate, social phobia can be one of the reasons. People face Social Anxiety disorder (SAD) when they aren’t able to communicate in public thinking of bitter consequences. The researcher came across that SAD is a very common disease all over the world. However there is no need to disclose this fact if a victim is facing this disorder. The phobia can be overcome, if proper
guidance and support is provided by families and psychologist. The victim may find it impossible to treat this phobia but a counselling can boost up confidence in their life. The reason behind having the phobia differs in different countries. People should feel free to share it with any of their trustworthy fellow.
Going further, the researcher focused on the person facing lack of confidence and the ways to overcome it. Every person should have self confidence in oneself. The researcher felt the need for people to feel open and talk about it because it could be their first step to overcome their fear of talking.
28
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
After lots of brain storming and discussion about the problems faced by the masses suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder in India the researcher arrived onto solution for problem areas. The following is the problem and the solution to them.

30
RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTIONS
According to the researcher, • More efforts should be made to create awareness about Social Anxiety Disorder, for the people suffering from it but unknown about its cause and effect. • In every school, offices and corporate houses, a counselor should be assigned who can guide and provide support the emotional aspects of the workers/students. • Parents should build up comfort level with their children so that their ward would feel free to talk about their daily life problems with their parents. Parental Guidance Is Must.
31
• Due to slow internet a lot of time is wasted for response from sites, some of the heavy sites won’t open so it limits the research to only light websites, quality of work gets affected, quantity of work gets affected, creativity can get affected because of the irritation due to slow loading of pages and so it leads to loss of focus. • Issues with Teachers: Due to their busy schedule the researcher weren’t able to meet them. They gave late responses to our mails & calls. Few of them rejected to give response our mails. • Lack of knowledge in Software &Duration: Due to lack of knowledge in software & Duration I was not able to actually execute my workshop and make it happen. • Lack of permissions: As the researcher is a student, permission was not given to enter research areas and access the data for statistics and information. This again hindered the process of collection of primary data.
LIMITATIONS 32
WAY FORWARD The researcher concludes that every problem has a solution, it is our attitude which should be positive enough to face them bold heartedly. In the same way every anxiety disorder can be treated, as long as people have faith in themselves and have guardian support. An positive attitude and belief brings energy, strength, motivation and initiative to achieve everything. People facing phobias should feel free to talk about it to their loved ones. Every individual has a right to speak. Its our duty to over come our fear and raise our voices, may it be for earning our bread, injustice or pleasure. Life is all about challenges. Be strong and face them.
