Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reduced activity at norepinephrine synapses is associated with symptoms of depression, including fatigue, loss of motivation, and low mood. This is supported by the effectiveness of antidepressant medications that increase norepinephrine activity. Reduced levels of GABA and excess levels of dopamine are associated with other mental health conditions, while increased activity at serotonin synapses is more associated with anxiety than depression.
