5 Cannabis Strains That Act as Natural Antidepressants
- Medical cannabis provides some patients relief from anxiety and depression
- Cannabis strains act differently - some are suitable for treating depression, others for improving concentration
- According to Leafly reviewer feedback, strains like Blackberry Kush, Master Kush, Skywalker, Chemdawg, and Blueberry act as antidepressants
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 350 million people worldwide suffer from some form of depression. Depression symptoms can vary from person to person and can manifest in different forms and time intervals, ranging from seasonal affective disorders to long-term, severe forms.
A healthy diet, sufficient exercise, and mental freshness and focus should be absolutely fundamental in daily battles against anxious feelings. However, when depression reaches chronic levels, it can be difficult for those suffering to "get out" of this state, leading to seeking solutions such as psychotherapy or potentially unsafe pharmaceutical antidepressants.
If you prefer the good old natural path, treatment with cannabis or CBD oil is a viable option, which has proven effective against phobias, depression, and anxiety (More in the article "CBD for Depression"). More information about how medical cannabis can help with depression can be found in the article "Depression".
