Taijin kyofusho differs from social anxiety disorder in that

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taijin kyofusho involves a fear of offending others with imagined physical symptoms such as blushing or body odor, whereas social anxiety disorder does not involve such specific symptoms. It is not considered a psychotic condition and is not necessarily more debilitating than social anxiety disorder. The statement about social anxiety disorder only being found in the West and taijin kyofusho only being found in East Asia is also incorrect as both conditions have been identified and diagnosed worldwide. The mention of "rentaru oneesan" is not relevant to the differences between these two conditions.
