Answer 1

It’s a Benzodiazepine that interacts with certain areas of the brain, so it takes away the anxiety by blocking the release of a chemical that’s involved in the physical reactions to fear (that anxious feeling). It’s not a cure, but it’s effective enough that it allows you to think a bit more clearly and do what needs to be done to eventually stop needing pills and do it on your own.
