They basically mimic the action of this kind of Acid called a Gamma-aminobutyric acid or “GABA” and can bind to the type of neurotransmitters that interact with that acid throughout your nervous system. Theoretically experiencing too intense of an emotional response can be due to overaction of this mechanism in your body and benzos partially block that action.
