Neurotransmitter Imbalances in Psychological Disorders

A new medication is designed to treat a condition caused by insufficient activity of a specific chemical messenger in the brain. The medication works by binding to the same cellular receptors as the natural messenger and mimicking its effects, thereby increasing the overall response in the receiving neuron. Based on this mechanism, how would this medication be classified, and what is its primary effect at the junction between neurons?
