ANSWERS: True
I am the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter (NT). The opposite of Glu. I
decrease neuroexcitability across the brain. I bring the “chill” to the
party. I say party because people really like me when I take the edge
off stress and help them calm down. Some meds use my benefits to
help people sleep for medical
procedures. I help people relax, destress, and get some sleep.

You can see my effects when people drink alcohol. A few drinks and
people are super social and up for just about anything. I’m told these are
great benefits, but some people abuse alcohol and medications that
target me, such as benzodiazepines. I don’t just calm down those
emotions, I slow down everything, even breathing, which can be
dangerous. I also affect the executive function and motor coordination,
making people more at risk for accidents.
ANSWERS: GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid.)
I am your flight, fight, or fright. That's me, in excess. . I can really help
with focus and productivity which is why you see me with a cup of
coffee. I can put some "pep in your step" for sure when we get you to
your sweet spot.
ANSWERS: Norepinephrine (NE)
What happens if you have too much NE due to stress, medications, and
caffeine or other stimulants? I can make you -------------, ,
and affect your
ability to -------------. You see, I'm very primal and I can't tell if you're stressed
about a deadline or need to save yourself from a sabertooth tiger, which to
me is more important. That executive function? It's on hold until I'm sure
you're out of
danger. These many roles apply to both physical and mental health,
including mood, cognition, cardiac functioning, sleep, and arousal.
Knowing about how I function will help you to better understand
symptoms and treatments.
