Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tranquilizers, including Valium and Xanax, are known as benzodiazepines and work by increasing the activity of the neurotransmitter GABA. This results in a calming effect on the brain and can help treat anxiety and other related conditions. Antipsychotic drugs (B) and antidepressants (C) work on different neurotransmitters and have different effects on the brain. Lithium carbonate (D) is primarily used as a mood stabilizer in the treatment of bipolar disorder and does not affect GABA.
