How Can Social Anxiety Disorder Be Treated?

Yes, please my son has acute social anxiety disorder and is taking depakote- 1000 mg and seroquil- 150 mg and paxil- 60 mg. I am concerned with long term side effects. He has been on these and he has no short term side effects. The lack of motivation is also a factor. He does go to a psychiatrist and weekly counseling .
