Which type of medications reduce the activity of certain brain chemicals?

  1. Anti-convulsants

  2. Anti-anxiety medications

  3. Expectorants

  4. Steroid anti-inflammatories

The correct answer is: Anti-anxiety medications

Anti-anxiety medications are the only option listed that specifically target brain chemicals and reduce their activity. The other options may have benefits for certain conditions, but they do not directly impact brain chemicals as anti-anxiety medications do. Anti-convulsants are used to treat seizure disorders, expectorants are used to thin mucus and help with coughing, and steroid anti-inflammatories are used to reduce inflammation in the body. While these may have indirect effects on brain function, they do not have the same direct impact as anti-anxiety medications.
