Abstract
Anxiety disordersAnxiety is a common adaptive answer to conditions considered threats. When clinical criteria of intensity, frequency and functional decline of the patients are exceeded, anxiety becomes a disorder. Among them are panic disorders, agoraphobia and generalized anxiety disorder. Due their effectiveness, tolerability and lack of tolerance and dependence, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants or serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) are the first-line treatment. Conversely, benzodiazepines, although frequently used for the treatment of acute control of anxiety, are not indicated for long-term management of anxiety.
