If your referring to benzos for anxiety, it is now common that psychiatrists practice not prescribing them due to their highly addictive nature. There are documented cases of people trying to get off taking them after years of taking them and have major problems and residual effects after withdrawing. They may only prescribe benzos in severe cases.

There was a documentary on Netflix about that… the withdrawals from long term use looked excruciating.
