There are millions of nerves involved in helping the brain function the right way.
Nerves are involved in carrying different signals from the brain to the target organs back and forth.
The nerve endings called synapses are responsible for transferring the signal form one nerve to the other.
Several neurotransmitters play an important role in conveying the message from the nerves to the target tissue, cell or organ.
GABA, norepinephrine, epinephrine, serotonin, etc.
are some of the common neurotransmitters found in the brain.
Any imbalance in neurotransmitters will have a direct effect on the functioning of the brain leading to numerous psychiatric disorders.

It can be due to psychological, social or physical disturbances in the person.
Chemical imbalances are diagnosed with the help of several physical tests like observing the person's behavior, his reactions to different situations, his speech, gait, etc.

Drugs and medications are prescribed depending on the type of neurotransmitter that has decreased or increased in quantity.
