Anxiety, Panic Disorders

Cannabis, specifically CBD (cannabidiol), has been shown to help with anxiety and panic disorders by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system. This system is involved in regulating a variety of functions including sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response. CBD may help to reduce stress and anxiety by enhancing the endocannabinoid signaling, which can help to regulate mood and fear. It can also interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, which play a key role in anxiety disorders. Some studies have shown that CBD can reduce symptoms in people with various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks.
