Does social anxiety cause irritability ...and can you be hospitalised for it?

I was diagnosed with it but is it that serious where a person can be hospitalised? It's seen as a mental illness, sadly but I don't see it as such as it's hard for me to accept. Since lately, I've been overwhelmed and avoiding people as I'm trying to focus and get myself together in life. I lashed out, non physically recently after feeling caved in by my personal issues.

I think you might be hospitalized for other illnesses triggered by it.

@CrazyMusicLover like a panic attack?

@Ladyofemotions I'd guess more likely some psychosis with severe symptoms witch which you'd need to be under medical supervision. If you have just one-time panic attack, they might give you first aid and if you calm down they'll send you home. Or run a couple of exams to rule out some life threatening illness like a heart attack that often has similar symptoms. So maybe 1-2 day hospitalization. 🤔 I really don't know, just guessing.
