Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's, Blocking dopamine receptors in the brain

Step-by-step explanation:

Schizophrenia patients normally have an imbalance where they have increased dopamine, so blocking dopamine would help balance things out. Schizophrenia patients have less GABA, so blocking GABA receptors would not help.
