Students with social disorder

I have a student who has anxiety attacks when she feels uncomfortable in a situation. She had opened up to me about meeting new people is very difficult and she goes into depression. I tried to incorporate group activities and reading out loud into my lectures to help ease her. Some days she seemed to be fine, but there are other days when I see her isolating herself. I want to help her but I don't want to push her too far...any suggestion?

That is a difficult student, I think that you are trying your best,has she been seen by a professional mental health provider? Maybe some medication or therapy will help. I have had students that fail tests due to test anxiety; they can verbalize the information during conversation and then fail miserably when under pressure of testing. Another situation that is difficult to resolve since all the students have to take exams and these bright students can't pass because of their anxiety. Any ideas for these people?
