Take a public speaking anxiety test to learn if you have low, medium or high public speaking fear.
A phobia is typically in the medium-to-high range and means that your fear is getting in the way of your goals. For example, you may be unable to graduate from school or interview for a job. The more your fear prevents you from achieving your goals, and the more your fear limits your life, the more severe your phobia.
The good news is that phobias are treatable. There are thousands of people who have overcome public speaking anxiety with the right treatment. Cognitive-behavioral treatments have been found to be most effective. Public speaking phobia is a type of social anxiety, so you may want to join a social anxiety or public speaking phobia treatment group. See our list of treatment centers or online counselors that specialize in social anxiety and/or public speaking phobia.
