Do you, or someone you know, suffer from some type of stress or anxiety disorder? Many people don’t handle stress and anxiety well. Managing stress is essential to a patient’s overall well-being. If left untreated, patients may deal with increased anxiety, depression, and in severe cases, even heart disease. Stress and anxiety may not be a disease, but as a disorder, patients need to manage levels to avoid potential potential health problems. Using medical marijuana offers our patients a solution that also reduces the risk of substance abuse and self-medication.
During the past 2 years, the effect of COVID has greatly increased the number of patients who report suffering from stress and anxiety disorders. Patients are having difficulty coping with normal daily functions and getting a good night’s sleep. At DocMJ, we are proud to be able to provide recommendations to qualified patients so they can receive the relief they need from their stress and anxiety disorders.
Over the past few years, there has been an increasing amount of research specifically focused on how medical cannabis may be an excellent treatment for a variety of stress and anxiety disorders. In fact, a large portion of our patients at DocMJ have achieved great success using medical cannabis to treat their stress and anxiety disorders, allowing them to function in activities of daily living. This treatment success is supported by multiple studies. A recent study out of Washington State University and published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, found that medical cannabis can significantly reduce levels of anxiety, stress, and even depression.
Additionally, our patients at DocMJ have found that when they use medical marijuana to help relieve stress, they often experience a variety of additional benefits such as pain relief, improved overall relaxation, and improved sleeping quality. Although medical marijuana is not a cure for a patient’s stress and anxiety, our patients report it absolutely does help with their overall stress levels.
