What are some of the methods of treatment for GAD?

What will be an ideal response?

-Both medical and psychological treatments can be helpful for GAD but rarely result in total symptom remission-Effective medications include GABA stimulants such as the benzodiazapines and buspirone for short-term treatments.-Antidepressants, especially the SSRIs, may be more helpful both in the longer term and with concomitant depression-Psychotherapy for GAD can be helpful as well, and appears to be at least as effective as pharmacological treatment.-There is some disagreement about the effectiveness of CBT in controlled clinical trials.--Some literature reviews found CBT to be helpful in the short-term for GAD, but lacked evidence of sustained improvement--Others indicate CBT is consistently clinically effective for both anxiety and depression
