For sure, SSRI's can (for some individuals) increase depression and anxiety.
I can identify with SSRI's increasing social anxiety to the point of not being able to look people in the eye.
I have noticed the same thing, that SSRI's can increase the intensity of social interaction. I would notice myself looking down or to the side because it was just too intense.
There are some theories as to why this happens. It is likely that for some indivudals SSRI's offset the balance of serotonin to other neurotransmitters such as dopamine.
It could be high serotonin, low dopamine or a high serotonin to dopamine ratio, or something else.
