> Hi all: I was just wondering if avoidant personality disorder is just a symptom of anxiety/depression or if it is a disorder in it's own right?
It is a disorder in its own right. It is closely associated with social phobia. However it is generally considered more severe, that is, the avoidant pers. has little social functioning, very withdrawn.
