Cannabis in the Treatment of Anxiety

At the beginning you will surely have some doubts such as: what is anxiety? How do I know if I suffer from it? Read it with us and find out.

Anxiety disorder is a collection of mental health conditions, characterized by ambiguous situations, by a disproportionate concern about future events that provoke physiological and behavioral responses, which prepare the individual for defense or flight.

Worldwide, the estimated number of people with anxiety disorders totaled 264 million in 2015, a consequence of population growth and aging. In the Americas Region, it is estimated that up to 7.7% of the female population suffers from anxiety disorders (3.6% of men). Therefore, there is a greater need to address new therapeutic alternatives such as medical cannabis for the management and control of these conditions and to improve the quality of life of those who suffer from them.

In this audiobook, you will understand how molecules derived from the cannabis plant, known as cannabinoids, could be indicated for the effective treatment of patients diagnosed with this disorder. For this it is important to know the evolutionary history of anxiety, epidemiology, risk factors and how the diagnosis is made, the endocannabinoid system and its distribution in the body, its receptors and all the wonderful homeostatic-physiological functions it performs in our central nervous system, as well as clinical studies showing that phytocannabinoids, especially CBD, works as a possible anxiolytic treatment, for a satisfactory clinical evolution.
