Anti-anxiety

refers to treatments, including medications and therapies, designed to reduce or manage symptoms of anxiety disorders such as excessive worry, fear, and nervousness. Anti-anxiety medications include benzodiazepines (e.g., Diazepam), which provide short-term relief, and SSRIs/SNRIs (e.g., Sertraline, Venlafaxine), which are used for long-term treatment. Non-medication approaches, like cognitive-

behavioral therapy (CBT)

, are also effective. Anti-anxiety methods aim to improve daily functioning and quality of life by reducing the emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety.
