I've read that generalized anxiety disorder can be a part of Avoidant Personality disorder-- but being Avoidant goes much deeper than social anxiety. Medication may help the anxiety but with the personality disorder(which results in harmful/sabotaging thinking) medication won't help much..... so far, I don't know of a medication that alters ones thinking.

I would guess-- (I'm not a professional) -- that your diagnosis must have been correct in that you had generalized anxiety.

But I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, and prescribed Zoloft. It's actually been helping me to the point where I was able to start school and make new friends.
