Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kate's symptoms are consistent with caffeine withdrawal, which is caused by the removal of a psychoactive drug (caffeine) from her diet. Caffeine is known to affect mood and cause headaches, and regular consumption can lead to a form of psychological addiction. There is no evidence to suggest that GABA or placebo effects are involved in this scenario.
