CBD for Depression & Anxiety: What You Need to Know

Anxiety disorders are some of the most common conditions in the world, affecting hundreds of millions of people.

Mental health is multi-faceted, and there are many steps patients can take to begin feeling better...but what if your next patient asks you if CBD could help alleviate their symptoms?

Anecdotal evidence is everywhere, and it’s well-known that many people self-medicate with cannabis. Already anxious and stressed — and now overwhelmed with CBD options — patients need to be educated by someone with your clinical experience…

What does the research show? What recommendations, if any, are clinicians able to make? Genevieve Newton, DC, PhD, highlights the gaps in current research and reflects with colleagues on their experiences in the below video.



This blog is the third in a series examining the effects of CBD on common physical and mental health conditions. Check out the other installments to get an update on the latest research and recommendations: CBD for Chronic Pain and CBD for Better Sleep.
