CBD for Mental Health

Is CBD a viable natural alternative to pharmaceuticals for addressing depression & anxiety?

Have you heard that people have been using CBD to combat mental health issues like depression and anxiety?*

One reason that CBD is so effective at treating these disorders is that it acts on our serotonin receptors, like pharmaceutical antidepressants (SSRIs) do.

What’s the biggest difference in how they work? The side effects.

Traditional pharmaceutical antidepressants come with an avalanche of side effects that can, at worst, endanger your life, and at best, seriously reduce your quality of life.

Side effects of SSRIs can range from worsening suicidal thoughts, to diarrhea, to a loss of sexual desire.

(Not sure about you, but that would only make me even more depressed!)

So if you are struggling with mental health issues such as depression or anxiety, CBD may be a viable option for you to explore as a way to alleviate the symptoms naturally—without all of the dangerous side effects that come with pharmaceuticals.
