Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Benzodiazepines are not stimulants, they are a class of drugs used for their sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant properties. They are not typically used to treat depression as they can be habit-forming and have a risk of addiction. Antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), are more commonly prescribed for depression.
