I think social phobia can not be treatet as well as depression today. Reasons for Social phobia are very difficult to find biologically. The alpha2-agonist is, as stated in the article, only one explanation how something could be treated. The brain is complex, there are different cells in different locations with different ligands. It is clear that for example also things like early "mobbing" in school could lead to sp. People seems to be more or less sensitive to sp and its similar with other mental illnesses. But why the sensitivity for social phobia? I dont know, if it could be only hereditary. Unipolar, bipolar depression definitaly can. But i dont know with sp and ocd.
