This trial is designed to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SR58611A to placebo. In this study, escitalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant, is used as a positive control and has been chosen as the comparator agentas it is approved for treatment of GAD at a dose of 10 mg once daily.
