Hi thanks for asking question.
It is better to go for behavioural therapy for treating anxiety.
Try to avoid situation that lead to anxiety related panic attack.
Regular yoga and meditation is good one for stress and depression.
Do regular exercise.
Feel the brain with positive thoughts.
Endulge your self in some activities like sports, going to garden etc.
As far as drugs are concerned yes benzodizepins are used for anxiety.Lorazepam and alprazolam are widely used.But still on long term use they have side effects and dependency also...
I hope your concern is solved.
Take care
