Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depressants act on the central nervous system to slow down bodily processes and reduce overall responsiveness. Psychoactive drugs and stimulants can have a wide range of effects on the CNS, including increasing or decreasing activity levels, depending on the specific drug and dosage. Therefore, while psychoactive drugs and stimulants can sometimes have depressant effects, in general, the term "depressant" is used specifically to refer to drugs that primarily slow down the CNS.
