Valium increases GABA, a neurotransmitter that induces calm and relaxation. It does not directly alter serotonin levels but can indirectly improve mood and reduce anxiety by enhancing GABAergic inhibition.
Valium increases GABA activity but doesn’t significantly alter serotonin levels, primarily easing anxiety by enhancing GABA’s calming effects on the nervous system.
