> Does increasing GABAergic neurotransmission lessen psychotic symptoms?
Not that I know of, but I am sure it can help indirectly, such as by calming anxiety triggered by paranoid delusions. Dopamine is mainly an inhibitory neurotransmitter, too, like GABA. Meanwhile, the glutamate theory of schizophrenia suggests that the stimulatory neurotransmitter glutamate is abnormally low at NMDA-subtype receptors.
