Benzodiazepines, commonly known as "benzos," are a class of pharmaceutical drugs prescribed to address a range of mental disorders and ailments. These powerful medications are primarily used to treat moderate to severe anxiety, panic attacks, epileptic seizures, and withdrawal symptoms associated with other Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants, such as alcohol. However, due to their high potential for addiction, benzodiazepines are typically prescribed for short-term use.
