Depression is a mood disorder, where patients have pervasive low mood, with other complaints like decreased motivation, feelings of hopelessness and dread, loss of interest in daily activities, sleep issues, increased or decreased appetite etc. Feelings of anxiety can manifest with increased heart rate, sweating, restlessness, trembling, increased rate of breathing etc. Generalised anxiety disorder is characterised by excessive anxiety and worry over routine events and stimuli occurring most days over at least six months. Panic attacks are sudden, unexplainable feelings of intense terror that can last from seconds to minutes. Obsessive-Compulsive disorder is a psychiatric condition characterised by unrequited fears and thoughts resulting in repetitive behaviour (known as compulsions). Paroxetine is an anti-depressant belonging to the SSRI (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor) class, whereas Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that acts as an anxiolytic.
