The extent of benzodiazepine use in the western world is discussed. The expanding use of these drugs appears to correlate with the development of an increasing number of benzodiazepine derivatives. A description of the various categories of anxiety is followed by a discussion of the common signs and symptoms of the anxiety states. After a discussion of the differential diagnosis of the anxiety states, a review of the indications for benzodiazepines is given. Pharmacokinetic factors in the clinical choice of specific benzodiazepines are reviewed. The use of benzodiazepines in other conditions such as alcohol abstinence syndrome, acute toxic delirium, and insomnia is considered. A review of common side effects and treatment complications is offered.
