  2. Symptoms, Causes &Clarifications Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition, thought to be a combination of biological, psychological and other separate factors. Anxiety disorders can affect how people function in their day to day lives, impairing social interactions, family relationships, interaction with coworkers or school life. But these are all very treatable illnesses!

  3. Classifications of Anxiety Disorders The classifications of anxiety disorders fall into separate categories and each have their own set of causes or symptoms. They are as follows: • Phobias • Social Anxiety Disorder • Panic Disorder • Generalized Anxiety Disorder • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) • Separation Anxiety

  4. Can medical cannabis help anxiety? Medical cannabis has proven to be an effective treatment option for many patients suffering from anxiety. Often, the medical cannabis compound CBD works best for patients suffering from anxiety, as it has anti-anxiety properties. A practitioner will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that helps you get the most benefit from medical cannabis to reduce your anxiety and/or chronic stress.

  5. What is CBD Oil? CBD (Cannabidiol) oil is a potent cannabis extract that has a variety of medical uses. CBD oils typically contain little amounts or no THC, they do not make the patient feel “high”. Since CBD oils don’t have any psychoactive properties, it can be a safer option for some patients.

  6. How Do You Use CBD Oil? There are a couple of ways a patient can consume CBD Oil. Orally— When you purchase CBD from a licensed producer (LP), it will usually come as a tincture in a dropper bottle. Using the dropper, the patient can drop the amount recommended by their doctor underneath their tongue. Oil capsules— CBD oil can be inserted into capsules and taken orally. Sprays— Some doctors may recommend CBD oil products that can be sprayed into the mouth and absorbed into the body.

  7. CBD and Anxiety CBD doesn’t fit directly into any of the receptors of the ECS. Instead, it interacts indirectly not only with the CB1 and CB2 receptors. But also interacts with another receptor related to mood and brain function, the 5HT1-A (3). Turns out that CBD is a 5HT1-A partial agonist – which in layman’s terms means it binds to the receptor site, but only stimulates the receptor partially – but scientists suggest it does so just enough to elicit an anti-anxiety effect. Studies also suggest that CBD’s ability to promote hippocampalneurogenesis (the part of the brain responsible for memory, emotion and the autonomic nervous system) could also explain why anxiety is reduced.

  8. Other Uses of CBD • CBD oil may be prescribed for a wide range of ailments. The cannabinoid may be effective to treat: • Seizures (epilepsy or Dravet Syndrome) • Psychiatric Conditions • Pain • Neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease) • Cancer • Alertness
