What Causes Social Anxiety Disorder in Pediatrics?
The exact causes of SAD are not fully understood, but several factors may contribute, including:
Genetics: A family history of anxiety disorders can increase the risk. Brain Chemistry: Imbalances in neurotransmitters like serotonin may be involved. Environmental Factors: Overprotective parenting, bullying, or traumatic social experiences can play a role. Temperament: Children who are naturally more reserved or shy may be more prone.
