The Evidence Behind It

A Scale Trusted in Clinical Settings

This screening questionnaire is designed to help you understand how frequently social anxiety affects your daily life. It explores common experiences such as fear of social situations, concerns about being judged, avoiding social interactions, and physical symptoms of anxiety.

Your results do not provide a diagnosis but may help you recognise patterns in your experiences and decide whether further professional assessment or support may be helpful.

Developed for Clinical Precision

Adapted from a validated scale developed at Duke University and used in social anxiety research worldwide.

A Flag, Not a Diagnosis

Your score highlights whether your symptoms warrant a closer look. Only a qualified professional can diagnose social anxiety disorder.

Your Options From Here

If your results suggest social anxiety, Elyséa HEALTH can connect you with a clinician for a comprehensive in-person assessment.

Interpreting Your Score

What Your Social Anxiety Results Could Mean

Few Symptoms Reported

Your answers suggest minimal social anxiety symptoms. No further action is needed right now.

Moderate Likelihood

Some Symptoms Present

Your responses point to symptoms that may be mildly to moderately disruptive, worth discussing with a GP.

Higher Likelihood

Support Is Available, However Your Social Anxiety Score

You don't need to have all the answers before reaching out; our clinicians can help you work it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

A closer look at how this social anxiety test works and what your results might mean.

What's the difference between occasional nervousness and social anxiety?

Most people feel nervous in some social situations. Social anxiety disorder involves persistent, intense fear that interferes with daily functioning, relationships or work; not just occasional discomfort.

Can social anxiety show up in only specific situations, like public speaking?

Yes. Some people experience anxiety across most social interactions, while others find it’s triggered by particular situations, such as public speaking or eating in front of others. Both patterns are recognised.

Does completing this test count as taking action toward getting help?

In a sense, yes; noticing a pattern and choosing to look into it is a meaningful first step. The next step is discussing your results with a clinician if they suggest it’s worthwhile.

Could my results look different depending on how I'm feeling that day?

Day-to-day mood can affect your answers slightly, but the test asks about patterns over recent weeks rather than a single moment, which helps produce a more stable picture.
