benzo's work on people differently. as with depression there are many different reasons for depression. most of my depression comes from high pain levels as well as chronic illnesses. if i could have my body of 20 years ago i would have little or no depression. so if your neighbor's reason for depression is anxiety then the benzos would do the trick.
sometimes we can identify why anxiety attacks us. like a bill we can't pay, a sick child, or health etc. but in a lot of cases we can't tell why anxiety is so bad.
so everyone should talk to their doctor/therapist and try to figure out the best meds for their own personal situation. at least that's my opinion
