According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs) are often considered the first-line pharmacotherapy for managing long-term anxiety, particularly Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). However, determining the specific best drug for long-term anxiety is highly individualized and depends on a patient's symptoms, medical history, and response to treatment.
