The SSRIs are used for both. Mirtazapine is also effective. Carol A Tavani, MD, MS, DLFAPA Executive Director, Christiana Psychiatric Services Office: 302 454 9900 Mobile: 302 540 2656
Virtually all available antidepressants treat both anxiety and depression - selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), as well as older classes of medications.
