Millions of people are prescribed anti-anxiety medications to help relieve their debilitating symptoms. Benzodiazepines, which became available in the 1960s, were some of the first medications prescribed specifically for anxiety. While these drugs work quickly and effectively, they carry a high risk of dependence, sedation, and tolerance buildup. Additionally, they also target the symptoms of anxiety rather than the cause of anxiety, so symptoms are likely to recur if the medication is stopped.

Two of the most common include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). When we talk about "non-controlled" medications,...

Episcleritis refers to inflammation of the clear coating over your eye, called the episclera. This usually causes redness and discomfort but no discharge. Some people with the autoimmune disease ankylosing spondylitis (AS) experience episcleritis, though uveitis and iritis are more common eye symptoms. Not everyone with AS experiences eye inflammation. This article explores the relationship between episcleritis and AS, how to manage this symptom, and what other conditions besides AS can cause it. AS is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation in your joints and ligaments, especially around the spinal cord. This inflammation can impact other parts of the body, too, including your eyes. The uvea is the eye layer most commonly impacted by inflammation from AS. It contains the pigmented part of your eye, including the iris. Roughly half of all people with AS will experience inflammation of the uvea (uveitis) or the iris (iritis) at some point. Inflammation of the sclera (scleritis) and...
