    According to Dr. Amen, GABA helps to calm the brain. He uses it to treat several of his 7 types of ADHD, as outlined here:

    There’s mention of it on the vitamins and supplements user reviews page too:

    I’m on GABA, it’s a neurotransmitter to help calm the brain. I have a diagnosis of Anxiety with some ADHD like symptoms.
