An excess can induce calm and relieve anxiety, so I wonder if some of the antagonistic stimulants administered to "hyperactive" children may have something to do with it. The effects of GABA change from an excitatory role in the developing brain (for example in growing boys) to an inhibitory role in the mature (conservative) brain. (No studies have ever been done on liberals, due to a dearth of suitable subjects.)
I've long believed that handing out Adderal and Concerta like they're candy, along with the overprescription of SSRIs, must have long-term effects the neural functions of their victims. You don't fool with brain chemistry.

I could just imagine what we are doing to young developing kids with all these drug cocktails.
