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.

However you consider SA, just know that anxiety, and also depression, are very common and the top 2, most people seek help with, so you are not an outcast! A self-help book can be a great resource to help drag yourself out of the grip, especially if the cost to see a psychologist is an issue. YouTube tips, from professionals, can be really beneficial too. And...meds also!
