What non-addictive, non-benzodiazepine is commonly implemented for patients who suffer from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Buspirone (BuSpar). Buspirone is commonly used for patients with GAD due to its non-addictive nature and lack of sedative effects like benzodiazepines. It works by affecting serotonin receptors in the brain, reducing anxiety symptoms. ECG changes (choice B) are not a treatment for GAD. Valium (choice C) is a benzodiazepine, which can be addictive and is not recommended for long-term use in GAD. Divalproex (Depakote) (choice D) is typically used for mood disorders like bipolar disorder and not as a first-line treatment for GAD.
