The sessions also addressed the impact of social phobia on academic achievement, social interaction, and student participation in university activities, while providing practical guidance to enhance students' psychological and social adjustment both on and off campus.

The sessions concluded by emphasizing the importance of guidance and psychological support for students, helping them overcome personal and social challenges and contributing to a safe and stimulating university environment.
