PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder, commonly known as PTSD, is a disorder developed after particularly stressful or dangerous events which may result in anxiety or other symptoms. It affects 8 million Americans, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. Symptoms of PTSD can include re-experiencing traumatic memories (through flashbacks or nightmares), mood changes, trouble focusing, and self-destructive behaviors like consuming too much alcohol. Multiple reviews of medical cannabis support its anxiolytic action which is a key aspect of treating PTSD, anxiety disorders, and compulsive behaviors.
Medical marijuana has been shown to help those who suffer from PTSD by alleviating anxiety, depression, nausea, insomnia and other negative symptoms. Medical cannabis specifically targets specific processes critical in PTSD that “regulate affective states and participate in memory consolidation, retrieval, and extinction.”
