Oxylidine is also recommended for the treatment of cerebral artheriosclerosis, depression with anxiety symptoms and other mental diseases requiring tranquilizers [147, 148]. Oxylidine is more active when injected parenterally. The drug is injected subcutaneously and intramuscularly as 1-2 ml of a 2 or 5% solution 1-2-3 times daily. It is administered perorally at from 0.02-0.05 g to 0.1-0.3-0.5 g a day. Oxylidine is well tolerated and may be employed both in hospital patients and in outpatients. 

During COPD, the following symptoms occur, usually in the order mucus hypersecretion, ciliary dysfunction, airflow limitation, pulmonary hyperinflation, gas exchange abnormalities, pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale. Acute exacerbations appear to be mainly triggered by bacteria, viruses or environmental pollutants. They lead to a worsening of lung functions, wasting and increased mortality their psychosocial impacts include depression and anxiety that may be associated with the will to die.

Evaluation of the economics of mental illness in primary care is an ongoing initiative of the UK Department of Health (Lloyd and Jenkins, 1995). A similar American study in Washington State included sub-threshold anxiety or depression, but these imposed relatively little economic load compared with disorder-level anxiety or depression (Simon et al, 1995). Mental health treatment accounted for only a small part of overall utilization, approximately 5%. Nevertheless, most patients with anxiety or depressive disorders showed considerable improvement. This was accompanied by only modest reductions in cost.

Since early detection and intervention in schizophrenia is important for maximizing outcomes, treatment with antipsychotic medications should begin as soon as psychotic symptoms are recognized. Antipsychotic medications are the cornerstone of therapy for people with schizophrenia, and most patients are on lifelong therapy since non-adherence and discontinuation of antipsychotics are associated with high relapse rates. If other symptoms are present such as depression and anxiety, these symptoms should also be aggressively treated. Additionally, psychosocial treatments should be used concomitantly to improve patient outcomes.

Patients with anxiety and depression often have bowel symptoms. Gorad et al. compared 21 psychiatric outpatients with generalized anxiety disorders and depression with an equal number of healthy controls. Whole-gut transit time (WGTT) was measured using abdominal radiography after ingestion of radioopaque markers, and found to be shorter in patients with anxiety (mean 14 h ... 

Substance P, an undecapeptide, is abundant both in the periphery and in the central nervous system. It is usually co-localized with one of the classical neurotransmitters, most commonly serotonin. Substance P is thought to have a role in the regulation of pain, asthma, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and, in the CNS, emesis, migraine, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety. The substance-P-preferring receptor neurokinin-1 has been focused on most intensively in drug development, and existing... 

Anticholinergic side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and urinary retention. More serious reactions include forgetfulness, sedation, depression, and anxiety. Patients with preexisting cognitive deficits and the elderly are at greater risk for central anticholinergic side effects.

It is considered a second-line agent for GAD because of inconsistent reports of efficacy, delayed onset of effect, and lack of efficacy for comorbid depressive and anxiety disorders (e.g., panic disorder or SAD). It is the agent of choice in patients who fail other anxiolytic therapies or in patients with a history of alcohol or substance abuse. It is not useful for situations requiring rapid antianxiety effects or as-needed therapy. 

As the first SNRI drug approved, venlafaxine has become one of the first-line choices for depression and anxiety disorder [45,46]. An active metabolite, desvenlafaxine (19), is also under clinical development for the treatment of major depressive disorders [47], Preclinical studies also indicate that 19 may be effective in relieving vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause (e.g., hot flushes and night sweats) [47,48]. Desvenlafaxine is reported to be in clinical development for the treatment of fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain, as well as vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause [68].
