  2. The Bodies Natural Response to Stress • GABA is the body’s natural form of anxiety • It a neurotransmitter and 40% of the brains neutrons respond to it • It works by reacting GABA receptors to the outside of the reiceving neutrons and opens a channel to increase the flow of chloride ions into the neutron • It opens these receptors which releases the flow of chloride ions into the neutrons • Chloride ions make it harder for the neuron to be stimulated by other neurotransmitters, thus slowing down its activities and making the person feel more relaxed

  3. Benzodiazepines (BZs) • Benzodiazepines could include: Librium and Valium • Used to treat: anxiety and stress - slow down the activities of the central nervous system • BZs enhance the action of GABA and works on the brain harsher drugs, severe stress • Binding to special sites on the GABA receptor and boosting the actions of GABA allowing even more chloride ions to enter the neutron making it even more resistant to excitation • The brains out put of excitatory neurotransmitters are less meaning the person feels calmer

  4. Beta-Blockers(BBs) • Reduce the activity of adrenaline and noradrenalin. • Bind to receptors on the cells of the heart and other cells of the body that are usually stimulated during arousal • Slowing the heart less harsh on going stressors minimal side effects • Blocking these receptors, is harder to stimulate cells i.e. the heart it beats slower and with less force, and blood vesicles do not contract so easily. This results in a fall in blood pressure, and therefore less stress on the heart • The person feels calmer and less anxious. Beta-blockers are often used by sports players e.g. snooker / dart players and musicians to reduce arousal because sympathetic arousal may have a negative affect on performance
