Study Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to answer the question: can the investigators predict which adults with social anxiety disorder (SAD) will successfully respond to treatment? To answer this question, the investigators plan to recruit 190 adult participants who experience extreme forms of social anxiety to undergo brain imaging before and after 12 weeks of group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Adults in the SAD group who do not respond enough to group CBT may be offered the opportunity to complete an additional 12 weeks of individual CBT while receiving SSRI medication (sertraline, see below) for SAD. Data collected from participants who experience anxiety will be compared to a group of 50 participants with little or no social anxiety, who will serve as a comparison group.
Primary Outcome
The CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the improvement of the patient's illness at the time of assessment compared to baseline. To aid CGI scoring, the clinician will use the Social Phobic Disorders Severity and Change Form (SPD-SC). Treatment responder status will be defined as a CGI-I score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved)
