Do you think that in the next 10 years a new anxiety drug will be developed that is better with less side effects?

Good Chance: Many trials underway, new meds coming to market all the time. Also different of mechanisms of action such as foods and vaccines. If you have clinical anxiety, now is a good time to seek treatment even compared to a few decades ago. By the way , effective psychotherapy also being developed.
