Anxiety Medication: List, Types, And Uses

What medications are used for anxiety, and how are they prescribed safely in Europe?

Anxiety medication explained: SSRIs, SNRIs, benzodiazepines, beta blockers, dosing principles, and clinical assessment.

In this episode, we outline the main types of anxiety medication and how treatment decisions are made during an online consultation in the EU.

You’ll learn:

• First-line options such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)

• Serotonin–noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and when they are considered

• Short-term use of benzodiazepines and associated dependency risks

• Beta blockers for performance-related anxiety symptoms

• How medication choice depends on diagnosis (GAD, panic disorder, social anxiety)

• Common side effects and monitoring requirements

• Situations where a prescription request may be declined pending psychiatric evaluation

We explain how doctors assess symptom severity, duration, previous treatments, suicide risk, substance use, and coexisting depression before recommending medication. Not all anxiety requires pharmacological treatment, and psychological therapies are often first-line.

This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where mental health consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in accordance with EU prescribing guidance.
