Definition
A class of medications that reduce anxiety symptoms, including benzodiazepines and certain antidepressants.
Etymology
From Latin 'anxius' (troubled, uneasy) + Greek 'lytikos' (able to loosen). Agents that loosen anxiety.
Kelly Says
Anxiolytics are anti-anxiety medications — they calm the nervous system when anxiety gets out of control, but some can be habit-forming, so they're used carefully.
