Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental conditions in the United States. The ADAA estimates that 40 million people in the country suffer from an anxiety disorder. Depression is often accompanied by the disorder, simply because each condition plays off of the other. Living with both anxiety and depression can be an uphill battle. You might feel fine one day, but realize that you feel worse the next. In severe cases, these conditions can even affect your ability to hold down a job, go to school or spend time with your family. The AJMC Managed Care Network states that treating the problem through traditional means can be challenging. While there are a multitude of prescription medications specific to these disorders, more and more are turning to cannabis to heal.

Feeling the Effects

Anxiety disorders and depressive episodes come in many shapes and forms. Whether you suffer from OCD or panic attacks, it’s clear that life can be a challenge without the right help. Those who are chronically anxious and stressed are typically also depressed. Depression can leave you feeling hopeless and empty, unable to see the joy in life. Some of the most common symptoms of anxiety include:

  • Feelings of unreality (like nothing around you is real)
  • Heart palpitations
  • Dizziness and feeling lightheaded
  • Shortness of breath
  • Feeling like you’re dying
  • Feelings of intense dread and foreboding
  • Restlessness and lethargy

You can find a complete list of symptoms on HealthLine.

How Medical Marijuana Can Help

Medical marijuana has many different benefits that can help to calm down the mental turmoil that you face day to day. One way is by providing you with a sense of deep calm and relaxation. Many people who smoke marijuana or use CBD oil have found that it gives them a sense of tranquility that is difficult to get from prescription drugs and supplements. By reducing your stress and level of panic, you will find that you feel better and experience fewer episodes of uneasiness.

Safe Use for Relief

While marijuana use can be incredibly helpful for those who suffer from both anxiety and depression, it is important to know which dose is best suited to your needs. Low doses of THC are helpful for individuals looking for panic and depression relief, but high doses can actually trigger feelings of uneasiness and dread. In fact, some users have found that a high amount of regular marijuana use triggers conditions known as derealization and depersonalization, both of which are disorders on their own. Both are marked with severe feelings of unreality and dissociation. However, because of the amount of benefits that come from cannabis use, it’s important to try it as a way to relieve symptoms in a healthy and safe way. As always, too much of a good thing can be a problem, so finding what’s right for you will make a huge difference. CBD, on the other hand, has been safely studied to relieve episodes of panic and depression in all doses. This means that CBD itself is safe and beneficial for individuals looking for a complete change to their day-to-day lives.

Cannabis is a Proven Treatment for Anxiety Disorders

There are a number of ways to treat anxiety disorders, but some are more reliable than others. Cannabis has been shown to be one of the most reliable. You should look into using it if you have these symptoms.
