Shortterm: Benzo’s such as Xanax can be addicting, so if they are given ,ideally should be short term while other medications such as Zoloft,Paxil are just beginning to work.Everyone has Anxiety and if mild exercise may be all that is needed.Anxiety in itself is not a bad thing as long as you learn coping mechanisms to deal with it,if not can be disabilitating.Multiple great talks on Ted.com ted talks.
