: I'm 22 years old and have GAD, social anxiety disorder, and mild depression. I'm sure one of these things cause all the others over time. My symptoms have never been so severe that I had to be hospitilized, but they have caused me to not be able to function normally (ie: trouble driving and shopping, giving speechs, not wanting to get out of the house and go do "normal" everyday things, ill temper, etc). I took Paxil for 6 years and then it began to wear off...it started out of the blue causing severe headaches and dizziness. (And I hope no one is scared because of this...I have friends who have taken it for a long time and never had any problems.)
