What does buspirone do to the body?
Buspirone, an anxiolytic medication, works in the brain by binding to serotonin and sometimes dopamine receptors. It's used to treat anxiety symptoms and disorders, and can also be used for depression. The exact mechanism of how it reduces anxiety and depression symptoms isn't fully known, but it's believed to have some effect on the central nervous system, possibly increasing serotonin activity in certain brain areas.
