Social contact is probably the best way to maintain cognitive abilities. Deprived of this basic level of social contact because of a heightened fear is unacceptable.
"Its all we have" is not true. When sertaline went head to head with SJW, and placebo, both failed but SJW came out superior to sertraline.
The study claimed "SJW no better than placebo"!
It is one thing to remove fear from the social setting, and another thing to remove inscentive.
My friend was on paxil for SP. He said that he didn't get anxious around people anymore, but that he totally lost interest in social contact.
