Treatment for social anxiety disorder involves psychological counseling and sometimes medications (such as antidepressants) to reduce associated anxiety and depression.

A combination of medications and professional counseling is most effective for people who have generalized anxiety and fear over many social situations
For those who fear only one or a few social situations (such as public speaking or eating in front of others), professional counseling to overcome the fear may be all that is needed

Initial treatment of social anxiety disorder is based on the severity of your emotional and physical symptoms and your ability to function in daily activities. People who have social anxiety disorder often have depression as well. They may also have alcohol or substance abuse problems. Your health professional may ask you certain questions to see whether you might be drinking too much or abusing drugs.

Social anxiety disorder often goes undetected for years before treatment is sought—by that time, you may have developed behaviors that accommodate the fears. These habits or behaviors must be overcome to successfully manage social anxiety disorder.

First, your health professional must determine whether you are generally anxious about all social encounters, or whether a specific situation triggers anxiety.

Treatment with a combination of medications and professional counseling is often effective for generalized social anxiety disorder (fear of most public interaction). Some people need treatment throughout their lives, while others may recover completely after a period of treatment with counseling and medications.

Types of counseling most often used to treat social anxiety disorder include
Cognitive-behavioral therapy, which helps you identify anxieties and the situations that provoke the anxiety. Initially, you may feel uncomfortable while addressing the feared situations, but it is an important part of your recovery. Several types of cognitive-behavioral therapy are used to treat social anxiety disorder, including:
Exposure therapy. You will be guided by a professional counselor to imagine you are facing the feared situation until you no longer fear it, such as eating in public. Next, you may go with your counselor to a public place and eat until, eventually, you can eat by yourself in public without fear.
Social skills training. This therapy helps you develop the skills you need in social situations through rehearsing and role-playing. Your anxiety is reduced as you become more comfortable with and prepared for the feared social situations.
Cognitive restructuring. This therapy helps you learn to identify and improve fearful thinking to help you better handle social situations.
Symptom management skills. This therapy teaches you how to reduce stress by controlling your breathing and other physical responses to anxiety.
Supportive therapy. This can include:
Education about the disorder.
Family therapy, to support loved ones affected by your condition.
Group therapy or support groups, to seek support from others also diagnosed with the disorder.

I think that you realize you have extreme anxiety in certain social situations, but you don't know why and you can't stop the feeling from overpowering you and you want it to stop! So you can tell someone about it but you can't get relief on your own. I mean if you couldn't even bring yourself to talk to anyone about an anxiety than you have much more of a problem than anxiety.

If you don't see a therapist, how do think you will get diagnosed and treated? By magic?

Social anxiety disorder is def. there and many peopel have it, only they are not aware of it. The first step is awareness and acceptance of the fact. Then the positive approach and willingness to overcome the problem. Best thing is to start with is try solving other problems, then one tends to look at personal problem in different view. By knowing problems of others one feels that his/her problem is much lesser and irrevelant.

One can start interacting at activity places where one doesnot really have to sit and chat. Like gym area, beauty salon, buses, metros, are such places where one can be casual and talk without the burden of forced talk. Once the confidence is built then one can be more vocal.
