LSD mainly affects the Cerebral Cortex. LSD is a serotonin receptor agonist and much of its hallucinogenic effects are thought to result from binding to the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor in particular. LSD also affects all subtypes of dopamine receptor and all subtypes of adrenoreceptor.

Are neurotransmitters that depress the resting potential called excitatory?
No, neurotransmitters that depress the resting potential are called inhibitory neurotransmitters. Excitatory neurotransmitters have the opposite effect, causing depolarization and increasing the likelihood of an action potential.
Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
How does ectasy mimic natural neurotransmitters?
Ectasy (MDMA) is a derivative amphetamine. It is similar to the natural drug ephedrine and may be a alpha/beta agonist (mimics both epinephrine and noradrenaline). What is more clear is that a secondary effect of the drug is an increased release of dopamine and serotinin in the central nervous system (see NIH article).
When are neurotransmitters released?
Neurotransmitters are released when an action potential reaches an axon terminal (aka: end foot, synaptic knob, bouton), causing voltage-gated calcium ion gates to open, allowing calcium ions into the axon terminal, which causes vesicles containing the neurotransmitters to fuse to the cell membrane, which creates an opening to release the neurotransmitters into the synapse.
Chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron are called?
nuerotransmitter
Which neurotransmitters are affected by cocaine?

It's important to talk to a healthcare provider if you are experiencing any unusual changes in your menstrual cycle after using ecstasy.
How does ecstasy effect homeostasis?
It exacerbates the production of ADH, the hormone that regulates the body's reabsorption of water, and also promotes thirst. This then means that the body under the influence of ecstasy overhydrates, due to both the reabsorption and increased thirst, which can lead to swelling of the brain and thus eventual death.
How does ecstasy effect society?
Ecstasy doesn't affect society outside of those who use it and their close friends and family. How they're affected is different from person to person. Most are affected with either using the drug themselves, leaving the friend or family member or trying to help them. I don't think there's more to it than that.
What Neurotransmitters are implicated in depressive disorders?

How does ecstasy affect serotonin levels in the brain?
MDMA, or ecstasy, affects three neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Studies show that MDMA can damage serotonin containing neurons. "Studies have shown that some heavy MDMA users experience long lasting confusion, depression, and selective impairment of working memory and attention processes."
