Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a natural vegetable oil that contains phytochemicals (plants) called cannabinoids. It has been suggested that CBD may be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions, such as depression, anxiety, epilepsy and sleep problems. A comprehensive review of CBD concluded that it activates 5-HT1 receptors, which can have a direct impact on fear and learned phobias, implying that it can be an effective treatment for anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).A study looked at the possible neural basis of CBD to reduce symptoms of social anxiety disorder. The study found that 65% of adults with symptoms of anxiety and lack of sleep experienced improvements in sleep quality scores after one month of taking an average of 25 mg of CBD per day.
Pharmaceutical THC (with or without CBD) was linked to minor improvements in anxiety symptoms in people with other medical conditions, such as chronic pain and MS. CBD may have an effect on your condition, or it may interact with a medication you are taking. For example, CBD can sometimes worsen anxiety symptoms and interfere with the metabolism of certain medications. If you have symptoms of a mental health condition, you should talk to a doctor or mental health professional before self-medicating with CBD or other supplements. Some people describe the feeling that CBD oil gives them as normal. This means that it allows them to act more like their true self, without any changes in consciousness or psychoactive effects.
It is quite the opposite of the effects of alcohol consumption, as users describe it as a natural herbal remedy that allows them to be more focused and aware of what is happening around them. CBD oil can also affect the hippocampus, which plays an important role in regulating emotions. When you have depression, your hippocampus doesn't work as well. CBD oil may help promote neurogenesis or the formation of new neurons in the hippocampus. The director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse has stated that CBD oil is safe and, recently, the FDA approved the use of CBD oil in children with epilepsy. Therefore, many experts remain optimistic that CBD may be useful for a variety of mental health conditions.
