Question

Marcello Muniz · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Antianxiety drugs are typically used as a short-term solution for immediate relief of symptoms such as anxiety or panic attacks. However, using them as an ongoing treatment may only reduce symptoms without addressing underlying psychological or emotional issues. This can lead to dependence on the medication and neglect of other forms of therapy, such as counseling or cognitive-behavioral therapy.
