The nurse discusses basic neurotransmitter theory with students during their mental health rotation. Education will be deemed successful if students identify that a decrease in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) will result in which outcome?

anxiety A decrease in GABA results in anxiety, according to the basic neurotransmitter theory; antianxiety drugs activate GABA receptors, thus opening chloride ion channels and easing anxiety. The neurotransmitters norepinephrine and serotonin are believed to be deficient in clients with depression; therefore specific psychotropic drugs cause an increase in the brain's ability to use these neurotransmitters. A simplistic explanation regarding the neurotransmitter system notes an excess in dopamine, which is related to schizophrenia; therefore antipsychotic drugs decrease the brain's ability to use this neurotransmitter. It is believed that a deficiency of acetylcholine, which is noted in dementia of the Alzheimer type, allows the buildup of amyloid; cholinesterase inhibitors such as benztropine and donepezil slow the natural breakdown of acetylcholine by inhibiting the enzyme cholinesterase, which metabolizes acetylcholine.
