RESUMO:

Anxiety disorders have a high prevalence in the world population, with social anxiety disorder (SAD) being one of the most frequent among the different clinical types. Social anxiety is characterized by fear, flight or intense anxiety in social situations and is usually associated with thoughts of embarrassment to the gaze and judgment of others. The DSM-5 brings a novelty in relation to DSM IV, adding the specifier to the "Performance-Restricted" for social anxiety / fear TAS associated only with public speaking situations, generally affecting the professional environment, in academic, school, and labor markets. Although there are many studies on the neurobiological bases of social anxiety, DSM-5 still relies exclusively on signs and symptoms arising from verbal reporting and observation of the patient, their family members, or both. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate psychometric and physiological differences between individuals with DSAS diagnosis associated with the specifier related to performance - considered as belonging to the group of Specific Social Anxiety Disorder (SSAD) - and those with the general main symptoms, which came to be considered in the Generalized Social Anxiety Disorder (GSAD) group. In the initial sample (n = 77), the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy in the group (CBTG) was performed, and (ii) in part of the sample was studied the stress response during the social stress test (Trial Social Stress Test - TSST) (n = 21), subsequent to CBTG. In this last sample, in addition to the psychometric measures was added the cortisol dosage, a physiological parameter related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The results indicated that the 14-week design of CBTG did not show differences that characterize the two types of disorders individually. The presence of cortisol elevation and amplification of the stressor response throughout the TSST showed that males were more reactive to the test but, probable due to the small sample size (n = 21), no psychometric differences were found between the two groups to do differentiation between SSAD (n = 3) and GSAD (n = 18). We suggest, therefore, complementary analysis involving other variables such as oral expression and markers of the autonomic nervous system, associated with a larger sample size, to investigate in a deeper way if there are differences between these two clinical situations.
