Benzodiazepines are pharmaceutical agents that enhance the inhibitory effects of GABA neurotransmitters in the brain, producing sedative and anxiolytic effects. They are prescribed for the treatment of anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and sleep disturbances due to their rapid onset of action. Despite their therapeutic benefits, benzodiazepines carry risks such as drowsiness, impaired coordination, and the potential for tolerance and dependence with prolonged use. Therefore, they are typically used for short durations and as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes psychotherapy and behavioral interventions to promote sustainable symptom management and reduce reliance on medication.
