Anxiety
Medical cannabis may offer a safe and effective way to manage anxiety with the help of a trusted team of experts.
Anxiety is a mental health condition that causes worry, rumination and feelings of dread or fear. Physical symptoms like a rapid heartbeat or nausea can also occur. There are several anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety and specific phobias. In the UK, around 37.1% of women and 29.9% of men are thought to have high anxiety.
Symptoms
Symptoms of anxiety vary, but might include feeling on edge, restless or distracted. Physical symptoms could also occur, like dizziness, shaking, sweating, gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, or muscle tension.
Treatments
Treatments for anxiety depend on the anxiety disorder and unique symptoms experienced. Usually, a holistic approach is needed, including self-help interventions like lifestyle changes and mindfulness exercises, and sometimes talking therapies. If anxiety significantly affects your everyday life, prescription medications are available.
Medical cannabis can help offer a promising alternative to traditional anxiety medications, helping anxiety sufferers navigate daily life without constant worry.
