Imbalances in neurotransmitters can really affect how our brains work. Let's break it down:

• Excitatory Neurotransmitters (like glutamate):

  • These help increase brain activity.
  • When there's too much, it can cause problems like anxiety or even seizures.

• Inhibitory Neurotransmitters (like GABA):

  • These help to calm the brain down.
  • If there isn't enough, it can lead to feeling restless or having mood swings.

In the end, having the right balance of these substances is super important for our mental health!
