I read about a lot of advances in research and anxiety. do you think they will have a pill to cure all anxiety different from ssri in the near future?

SSRIs target: depression but can help w/anxiety. Consider cognitive therapy like the the book "Feeling Good" by David Burns. Also look at diet, sleep, exercise. Peace and good health.
