Question:
Are there *any* weekly support groups
for Social Phobia, Social Anxiety, Generalized
Anxiety in Manhattan? Usually hospitals have
them, but I can't find it on the web.
Answer:
I found these in New York. One in NYC, but maybe others are close to you, I
don't know. And I'm not sure if this info. is outdated or not. I just came
across it on the web.
