Correct Answer: Barbiturates are sedatives. Rebound insomnia isn't a drug. Antidepressants treat depression and anxiety disorders. Anxiolytics focus on anxiety.
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Antidepressants. Antidepressants are drugs specifically designed to treat depression and various anxiety disorders, including panic, social phobia, and post-traumatic stress disorder. They work by balancing neurotransmitters in the brain to improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety. Barbiturates (

B) is a phenomenon where insomnia worsens after discontinuing sleep medications, not a class of drugs. Anxiolytics (
D) are drugs that specifically target anxiety symptoms, but they do not usually address depression.
Therefore, the correct choice is C as it accurately describes the drugs used for treating depression and a range of anxiety disorders.
