Interesting stuff.

As a side note, I feel like a lot of people tend to erroneously conflate mostly normal social anxiety (e.g. feeling anxious when meeting new people) with SAD, which tends to be diagnosed when the anxiety is actually severe/crippling. Kind of like how PTSD or OCD are thrown around super casually these days.
