For the treatment of anxiety. And how the effectiveness compares to ssris for anxiety.

It isn't often used. It has a reputation among psychiatrists for poor efficacy.
It wouldn't hurt to try it for generalised anxiety, but it is not used for panic disorder or other types of anxiety. Buspirone is not addictive and withdrawal symptoms are very minimal compared with SSRIs.
