According to data provided by the WHO (World Health Organization), depression is one of the most serious health problems of our time. Is at the top of the list of the most common mental disorders. It is also the main cause of incapacity for work. It is estimated that up to 10% of the population suffers from it and the number is constantly growing. Although it is more and more commonly brought about in public debate, it is still considered a shameful ailment. Patients are being stigmatized. They also face social isolation.
Depression is difficult to diagnose, incurable (it is only possible to neutralize the symptoms), which, in addition, often recurs. Diagnosis is quite problematic in that sometimes, we all experience worse times, we all face difficulties and mood swings. The borderline between ordinary sadness and a medical condition can be blurry, but certainly symptoms such as: persistent low mood, low self-esteem, lack of energy and sense of sense, reduction of interest and pleasure in performing most activities, loss of intellectual ability should seem disturbing to us , difficulty concentrating, dizziness and headache, decreased sexual needs, sleep disturbance, appetite disorders (weight loss or weight gain), and even suicidal thoughts.
Currently, depression, but also many types of neuroses are usually treated pharmacologically with the use of antidepressants. Psychotherapy is also used. In most patients, the expected improvement occurs. However, antidepressants usually yield the desired effects only after a few weeks of usage, and in some people cause a lot of adverse side effects.
The interactions that antidepressants enter with the nerve structures in our brain are responsible for the positive effects of drug treatment, and more specifically with the so-called endocannabinoid system. The receptors of this system are responsible for the formation, differentiation, development and functioning of neurons. Depression contributes to the disruption of these functions and the death of nerve cells. That is why stimulation of the endocannabinoid system is so important and brings beneficial effects in the treatment of mood disorders. One of the best non-toxic, natural remedies used to stimulate these structures is cannabidiol. CBD not only accelerates the development and growth of nerve cells, but also relaxes, reduces stress, relieves anxiety and anxiety, adds energy, improves concentration and positively affects our mood. That is why it is recommended for the treatment of depression and various types of neurosis.
