Can a person have social phobia and not have depression?

I'm not sure how it is for everyone, but for me i have social phobia but i dont have depression.

I get depressed because of social anxiety. It's more complicated than just that, of course, but that's what it boils down to.

Most DEFINITELY! I am on anti-depressants as well as anti-anxiety meds, and I've come to know over the past 15 or more years that social anxiety surely causes despression. and rightfully so - even if it's disappointing. Just know you aren't alone.. LOVE!

i dont quite get depression that often..
maybe i m used to being me?

I know for sure someone with social phobia can be happy, but soon or late it will explode as a bomb and there you go.. 1 depression for euhm .. how do you say it, injas ?

I'm just the opposite way. My depression came first and then I started getting socially phobic becos I was so depressed I couldnt behave normally around people and then the worse my social phobia got the worst my depression became too.

Same here.

I don't really get depressed that often, but have more than just social phobia going on up there.

I got depressions because of social phobia why?you cant have fun with youre friends or other people and the depressions goes more worse if you cant even leave the house...

they don,t always go together, I have SA for 11 years and I only started to get depressed a few months ago
