The Sedative Effect: Why Depressants Stand Opposite to Stimulants
Depressants are substances that slow down central nervous system activity, leading to reduced heart rate, lowered blood pressure, and relaxation. Used medically for anxiety, insomnia, and seizures, misuse can cause dependency. Stimulants are their opposite, increasing alertness and energy. While depressants treat anxiety and stress, their prolonged use might affect hormonal balance, particularly in men’s health. Understanding the impact of depressants is crucial, particularly in fitness and bodybuilding, as they can lower motivation. Responsible use is key to avoiding adverse effects.
