“…SAD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders, with a lifetime prevalence in the general population of approximately 12% ( Alden and Taylor, 2011 ). It is also known to be frequently accompanied by anxiety and depressive disorders ( Beesdo et al, 2007 ; Delong and Pollack, 2008 ). There is a wide range of comorbidity rates, depending on the investigated study sample and diagnostic criteria ( Harbort et al, 2013 ).…”

There is evidence that people with social anxiety show abnormal processing of emotional faces. To investigate the impact of top-down prediction on emotional face processing in social anxiety, brain responses of participants with high and low social anxiety (LSA) were recorded, while they performed a variation of the emotional task, using high temporal resolution event-related potential techniques. Behaviorally, we reported an effect of prediction with higher accuracy for predictable than unpredictable faces. Furthermore, we found that participants with high social anxiety (HSA), but not with LSA, recognized angry faces more accurately than happy faces. For the P100 and P200 components, HSA participants showed enhanced brain activity for angry faces compared to happy faces, suggesting a hypervigilance to angry faces. Importantly, HSA participants exhibited larger N170 amplitudes in the right hemisphere electrodes than LSA participants when they observed unpredictable angry faces, but not when the angry faces were predictable. This probably reflects the top-down prediction improving the deficiency at building a holistic face representation in HSA participants.

“…People with social phobia tend to be financially dependent, often need specialized care, have more suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, show increased risk of secondary psychiatric comorbidity, especially alcohol abuse and addiction, depression, are rarely married and have major difficulties with work adaptation 4 . Population and clinical studies also show that these patients are seldom treated adequately [5][6][7][8] . Over the past 15 years, behavioral, cognitive, and cognitive behavioral procedures (primarily exposure and cognitive reconstruction based treatments) have been found effective in the treatment of social phobia.…”
