Anxiety has three essential elements: the subjective experience, autonomic symptoms and avoidance behaviour. Various theories are considered which highlight the psychic and somatic aspects of anxiety. Beta-adrenergic receptor blocking drugs have been used with advantage to treat everyday stresses. These include the anxiety produced by the civil disturbances in Northern Ireland, performing surgery, dentistry, musical instruments or speaking in public, as well as examination nerves. The profile of symptoms such as tachycardia, palpitations and tremor which are most likely to respond to beta-blockers are discussed as well as their side-effects. Their mode of action is different from other anxiolytics, with which they can be combined.
主观体验、自主神经症状和回避行为。文中考虑了各种突出焦虑心理和躯体方面的理论。β-肾上腺素能受体阻断药物已被有效地用于治疗日常压力。这些压力包括北爱尔兰内乱引发的焦虑、进行外科手术、牙科治疗、演奏乐器或公开演讲时产生的焦虑，以及考试紧张情绪。文中讨论了最有可能对β受体阻滞剂产生反应的症状，如心动过速、心悸和震颤，以及它们的副作用。它们的作用方式与其他抗焦虑药不同，但可以与其他抗焦虑药联合使用。
