Abstract
Peculiarities of anxiety disorders (AD), taking a leading place among illnesses, accompanying by vegetative nervous system disfunction, are considered. AD include generalized anxiety, panic, obscessive-compulsive and phobic disorders, and also posttraumatic stress disorder. Taking into account obligate coexistence of psychic symtomes of anxiety and its somatoneurological manifestations the term «psychovegetative disturbances» describing abovementioned symptom complex was adopted. Drugs of choice for AD treatment are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Nevertheless, they have some disadvantages (slow getting the effect, side effects including sexual dysfunction). Benzodiazepines give fast antianxiety effect, but risk-benefit profile of these meducaments does not let to prescribe them for a long time. The question of possibilities of use of nonbenzodiazepine antianxiety remedies which are exeeding benzodiazepines for their safety for AD therapy is under detailed discussion.
