Anxiety disorders and how tricyclic antidepressants and SSRIs are used to treat them
AI simplified
Abstract
Both tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are effective in treating anxiety disorders.
- SSRIs are associated with greater safety and tolerability compared to TCAs.
- In treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and social phobia, SSRIs are almost always the preferred choice.
- There is a need for further research on the long-term use of TCAs and SSRIs for anxiety disorders.
