What is a "depressant"?
A depressant is a type of medication that slows down the central nervous system. These medications work by reducing brain activity, which can lead to relaxation, sleepiness, and decreased alertness. Depressants are commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, and certain types of seizures. They can also be used to relax muscles during surgical procedures or to manage symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.
