社交焦虑障碍（SAD）的神经生物学和精神药理学的进展加强了这种情况作为一种流行的，致残的和普遍的医学疾病的观点。与此同时，重要的文献指出，不同文化的社交焦虑和SAD的体验和表达存在差异。本文简要概述了一个理论框架，概念化临床医生的兴趣之间的对比，在生物医学疾病和人类学的重点疾病，然后采用此审查SAD的跨文化方面。在远东地区，人们看到了对人际关系的恐惧，这是一个特别有趣的例子。SAD的跨文化方面的考虑对临床实践和未来的研究有影响。
Advances in the neurobiology and psychopharmacology of social anxiety disorder (SAD) have reinforced a view of this condition as a prevalent, disabling, and universal medical disorder. At the same time, significant literature points to differences in the experience and expression of social anxiety and SAD across cultures. This article briefly outlines a theoretical framework for conceptualizing such contrasts between clinicians' interest in biomedical disease and an anthropological focus on illness, and then employs this to review cross-cultural aspects of SAD. Taijin kyofusho, or fear of interpersonal relations, is seen in the Far East, and is a particularly interesting exemplar in this context. A consideration of cross-cultural aspects of SAD has implications for clinical practice and future research.
