LSAS FAQs
These are real, raw questions we hear every day and the answers that start to bring relief.
The LSAS (Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale) is a widely used self-assessment designed to measure the severity of social anxiety symptoms.
It was created in 1987 by Dr. Michael Liebowitz, a psychiatrist and researcher at Columbia University.
There are 24 situations, each rated twice — once for fear/anxiety and once for avoidance.
Fear and avoidance ratings are added together, producing a total score between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating greater social anxiety severity.
Scores are grouped into bands (e.g., low, mild, moderate, marked, severe, very severe). Our programme uses three main guidance ranges:
Below 30: Unlikely social anxiety
30–60: Discrete form
61+: Generalised form
Most people complete the LSAS in about 5–8 minutes.
No — it’s a screening tool only. Diagnosis should be made by a qualified mental health professional.
Social anxiety affects not just emotional responses but also behaviours. Measuring both gives a fuller picture of its impact.
