Depressants are used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. The depressants affect the brain neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid. This works by decreasing brain activity, which results in a drowsy or calming effect.
Anti-depressants are named for their ability to treat depression (anti-depression). But in order for these medications to work, they typically decrease or "depress" the ability of the central nervous system (CNS) to respond to stimuli. For that reason, "depressants" are used as anti-depressants.
