Does anyone dispute this? Perhaps we can see where our disagreement (if any) begins.

1. Introduction
Every type of psychiatric medication initially produces effects that are specific to the particular drugs
unique impact on neurotransmitters and other aspects of brain function. For example, the SSRI antidepressants
block the removal of the neurotransmitter serotonin from the synapses; the antipsychotic drugs
suppress and block dopamine neurotransmission; and the benzodiazepines amplify GABA neurotransmission
which in turns suppresses overall brain function.
Although all psychiatric drugs have specific initial biochemical effects, over time other neurotransmitter
systems react to the initial effects and broader changes begin to take place in the brain and in mental
functioning.
