Research progress of psychological and biological mechanism of childhood trauma affecting social anxiety disorder

Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 9

Abstract

Social anxiety disorder has a significant negative impact on individuals’ social interaction and normal life, and childhood trauma plays an important role in the occurrence and development of SAD. Childhood trauma affects the development of self-awareness, impairs the ability of information processing, hinders the normal development of prefrontal cortex-limbic system loop and default mode network, and causes abnormal secretion of glucocorticoid and oxytocin, which leads to individuals’ inability to correctly understand social clues and reasonably regulate emotions, and thus unable to produce adaptive emotional and behavioral responses in social situations, which may lead to SAD. In conclusion, childhood trauma has a lasting adverse effect on social function from both psychological and physiological aspects.
