Cochrane reviews
- The evidence is insufficient for conclusions on the effectiveness of meditation therapy for anxiety disorders .
There is inadequate evidence to assess the effects of psychotherapy combined with benzodiazepines for patients with panic disorder .
- Hydroxyzine might possibly be more effective than placebo for symptom reduction in generalized anxiety disorder, although the evidence is insufficient .
- Quetiapine may be effective in generalised anxiety disorder; this effect may be similar to that of antidepressants. However, adverse events are probably more frequent with quetiapine .
- Collaborative care appears to associate with significant improvement in depression and anxiety outcomes compared with usual care, representing a useful addition to clinical pathways for adult patients with depression and anxiety .
