Summary
It's ridiculous medicine: dosing people with prescription drugs just because they're afraid of social encounters or public speaking. Who isn't afraid of goofing up in public? The drug industry claims it's all due to -- of course -- imbalanced brain chemistry, and that you need a lifetime of prescription drugs to return your brain chemistry to normal. Hogwash. What you need is training in public speaking. Or maybe you need to work on social skills. There's nothing wrong with your head, unless you've been taking a lot of prescription drugs already.
