The current literature describes phobias can cause a variety of hormonal changes in the body, such as blood sugar, adrenaline and thyroid hormone temporary elevation, etc. Currently, it is more agreed that phobias and obsessive-compulsive symptoms are closely related, such as the development of phobias have more or less compulsive personality and even obsessive-compulsive symptoms, blood tests can not get a diagnosis of phobias effective indicators, it is recommended that you can go to the local psychological clinic for medical treatment.
Regarding the treatment of phobias: those with childhood onset have a relatively good prognosis, with basic recovery or significant remission after 5 years. Adults with a single phobia have a better prognosis, while those with a generalized phobia have a worse prognosis. You belong to social phobia, the symptoms are relatively single (judging from the description of your medical history), and the duration of the disease in about 5 years, if not treated, the next 3-5 years will not change a lot, but in a longer period of time later may be some gradual improvement, medication is mostly anti-anxiety drugs.
I hope it will help you.
