At its lower levels of intensity, disinhibition can allow one to overcome emotional apprehension and suppressed social skills in a manner that is moderated and controllable for the average person. This can often prove useful for those who suffer from social anxiety or a general lack of confidence. However, at its higher levels of intensity, the disinhibited individual may be completely unable to maintain any semblance of self-restraint, sometimes at the expense of politeness, sensitivity, or social appropriateness. This lack of constraint can be negative, neutral, or positive depending on the individual and their current environment.

Disinhibition will often synergize with other coinciding effects such as [[amnesia]] and [[anxiety]] in a manner which can further decrease one's regard for social norms. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of [[GABAergic]] [[depressant|depressants]] such as [[alcohol]], [[GBL]], [[phenibut]], and [[benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines]].
