A member asked:

Are there any medications that can help cure anxiety and allow faster brain function?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I am not aware of any medicine that would allow for a reduction of anxiety yet allow more rapid brain function; unless it allows the the reduction of anxiety to create more normal brain function (less fragmentation of thought, etc).
