Mild anxiety: Antidepressants especially ssri are preferential treatment but if they can not be tolerated, short acting benzodiazepams could be used. Mindful of dependency and adverse effects especially when combined with alcohol and opiods that could be fatal. Counselling, excercise, yoga and meditation other forms interventions that do not require medications could be effective.
