In regard to the recent reversion by the editor who seems certain it is only prescribed for anxiety disorders (in the context of anxiety), I've been in medical contexts as well as personally know people who have been prescribed Lorazepam, and I know that Lorazepam has been acceptably prescribed for temporary bouts of significant anxiety (e.g. a few days or weeks at most such as due to temporary health scares), without diagnosed anxiety disorders, and the heightened anxiety clearing after the triggering event resolves. An "anxiety disorder" entails a chronic condition. Lorazepam is without a doubt also prescribed for temporary heightened anxiety, with or without an anxiety disorder.

Lorazepam is also prescribed for anxiety without an anxiety disorder
In regard to the recent reversion by the editor who seems certain it is only prescribed for anxiety disorders (in the context of anxiety), I've been in medical contexts as well as personally know people who have been prescribed Lorazepam, and I know that Lorazepam has been acceptably prescribed for temporary bouts of significant anxiety (e.g. a few days or weeks at most such as due to temporary health scares), without diagnosed anxiety disorders, and the heightened anxiety clearing after the triggering event resolves. An "anxiety disorder" entails a chronic condition. Lorazepam is without a doubt also prescribed for temporary heightened anxiety, with or without an anxiety disorder. 72.69.150.212 (talk) 04:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
