Benzodiazepines are medications known for their ability to enhance the effects of GABA neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to sedative, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant properties. They are commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and insomnia due to their rapid onset of action. Despite their effectiveness, benzodiazepines carry risks such as drowsiness, impaired coordination, and the potential for addiction with prolonged use. Therefore, they are typically recommended for short-term use under close medical supervision. Integrative therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction are often integrated into treatment plans to promote sustained symptom relief and reduce reliance on medication.
