ANTI ANXIETY

ANTI ANXIETY

  • Medicines commonly used to treat anxiety include antidepressants (for example selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, known as SSRIs) and benzodiazepines.
  • Antidepressants correct an imbalance of chemicals in the brain that contributes to anxiety.
  • Common side effects of SSRIs include nausea, headaches, weight gain and sexual side effects.
  • Benzodiazepines may be used short-term to relieve anxiety, but aren’t recommended for long-term use, as they are addictive.
  • There are many other treatments, including psychological therapy, which can sometimes be used to treat anxiety instead of or together with medicines.
