- neurotech1 16y agoThere isn't. There is medications that help tangentially only. Antidepressants, Anti-Anxiety & anti-psychotic medications are commonly prescribed to treat the symptoms.
- davidmathers 16y agoI'm just very curious to know which medication is being referenced here: Now, the new medication prescribed in Woodland has made a positive change in his interactions with other people. “Talking to strangers was really hard for me,” Lamo says. “I had to script it all in my head and act out normal behaviors in a very conscious way. Essentially, I had to learn how human beings act.” “Now I no longer feel there’s a surface tension that I have to break through when I talk to somebody, like I’m a fish going after a particularly tasty bug and I have to break through the water to get it,” he continues. “I just talk to somebody, like it’s a natural function.” Any guesses?
- neurotech1 16y agoI'm not a medical doctor, but I some anti-depressants can have that effect, i.e Prozac. Also some anti-anxiety medication, such as Valium can reduce social anxiety, even in low dosages.
- peterwwillis 16y agogeez. this makes me want to take some anti-anxiety meds. talking to strangers is very nerve-wracking.
- neurotech1 16y agoActually, you may do better with qEEG-guided neurofeedback. The problem is that its hard to for a lot of people to be fully functional after taking a Valium. Social meetings are one thing, but business meetings are another.
