The diagnosis of affective disorders is difficult, especially at mild to moderate levels of severity. Often symptomatic treatment is given in the absence of a clear diagnosis. Antidepressants are often efficacious in helping anxiety symptoms but antianxiety compounds are generally inefficacious in treating depression. Alprazolam is a possible exception and may have both antianxiety and antidepressant properties.
情感障碍的诊断很困难,尤其是在轻度至中度严重程度时。通常在没有明确诊断的情况下就进行对症治疗。抗抑郁药通常对缓解焦虑症状有效,但抗焦虑药物一般对治疗抑郁症无效。阿普唑仑可能是个例外,它可能兼具抗焦虑和抗抑郁特性。
