What does the future hold for sufferers of anxiety (social, generalized, panic), in regards to medication? Right now, the main medications that are prescribed are SSRI's and anti-anxiety agents (Xanax). For many sufferers of anxiety, including myself, these medications offer little in the way of relief (xanax seems to offer only short term relief and has problems with dependency and withdrawal). Do you think they will come out with more promising medications/therapies in the near future (next 20-30 years)? Or will the current medications still dominate?

Hi. I think in 25 or so years we may have the ability to engineer human hormones to serve the same purpose.
