What Are Anxiety Disorders?
9. Medications
There is no medication that can cure anxiety disorders. However, medication can be used to help ease the patient’s symptoms. Medication can also be used to help to treat any other mental health conditions the patient might be suffering from. This will typically include anti-anxiety medication and anti-depressants.
Other medication like beta blockers may also be used, but these will only be suitable in the short term. Sedatives may also be used but this is usually only in cases where the patient is feeling particularly distressed. Doctors should always be informed if the patient suffers bad reactions from any type of medication.
