represent an efficacious and rapid treatment for
some patients with GAD
• Antidepressants particularly the selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are widely
used to treat and prevent a variety of anxiety
disorders
• Citalopram (Celexa), Escita
lopram (Lexapro), Fluoxeti
ne (Prozac), paroxetine (P

and supportive-expressive
