Abstract
1 The diagnosis of affective disorders is difficult, especially at mild to moderate levels of severity. Often symptomatic treatment is given in the absence of a clear diagnosis.
2 Antidepressants are often efficacious in helping anxiety symptoms but antianxiety compounds are generally inefficacious in treating depression.
3 Alprazolam is a possible exception and may have both antianxiety and antidepressant properties.
Keywords: affective disorders, alprazolam
