'''Anxiety suppression''' can be described as the partial to complete suppression of a person’s ability to feel anxiety, nervousness, general unease, and negative feelings of psychological tension. The experience of this effect may decrease anxiety-related behaviour such as rumination, muscular tension, panic attacks, and restlessness.

Psychoactive compounds which consistently induce this specific effect are referred to as [[anxiolytic|anxiolytics]]. These compounds typically include [[benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines]], [[alcohol]], [[GHB]], [[GABApentin]], and various other [[GABAergic]] [[depressants]]. However, this effect can also occur more indirectly under the influence of a large variety of other pharmacological classes which include but are not limited to [[opioid|opioids]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]], and [[SSRI|SSRI's]].
