Question

Write a short note on tranquillisers.

Answer 1

Tranquilizers are medications that reduce tension and anxiety without altering consciousness, promoting mental calm. Without causing sleep or altering awareness, they are frequently used to eliminate or lessen aberrant feelings and expression (i.e., external behavior) in a patient. They are frequently utilized to treat illnesses that are solely psychological or psychosomatic, such as anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and somatic symptom disorders. The most often used tranquilizers are benzodiazepine derivatives, such as alprazolam, diazepam, oxazepam, chlordiazepoxide, and lorazepam.
