Depressants
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Depressants reduce central nervous system activity, slowing breathing, heart rate, and reaction time.
Show
Alcohol and benzodiazepines both increase GABA activity, lowering overall neural firing.
Watch for
Depressant does not mean it lowers mood. It describes the effect on the nervous system's activity level.
