I have diagnosed my self with Avoidance Disorder? How can I cure this?

Assalamu Alaikum,

Diagnosing an illness, be it physical or mental, is the realm of doctors, not us lay-peeps.

Seek the help of a mental health professional who can diagnosis you properly and recommend a course of treatment.

 

[OurIslamic]

How can you diagnose yourself? Unless your're a medical professional, you can't really "diagnose". You can predict or hypothesize, but not decide what exactly is happening to you.

Seek professional help. You will find out if you truly have this disorder, and will be able to find a solution.

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, can you give us more details? It sounds like a condition in which one feels that one is best left alone and isolated and finds it difficult to mix with others or be sociable maybe because of a lack of self esteem or other pschological issues.
