However, if one faints before they give the speech that can indicate that that individual is suffering from Social Phobia. Individuals suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) are usually terrified of crowds and performances. They often feel very uneasy and stressed in social situations which can lead to the self-isolation and alcohol or drug abuse. Self-isolation is a very common Social Anxiety Disorder symptom and should always be taken seriously. In other wards self-isolation needs to be addressed appropriately and should never be ignored. People that isolate themselves in most cases have a certain problem or problems that are overwhelming to them and one of those problems can very well be Social Phobia.

Certain type of behavior can be in one case depression symptom and in another anxiety symptom this is why it is always important to get a professional opinion and diagnosis.
