Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older. According to Gallup & #39;s 2019 data on emotional states, 55% Americans experience stress during the day. Everyone experiences stress and anxiety at one time or another.
The difference between them is that stress is a response to a threat in a situation and anxiety is a reaction to the stress. Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous.
Anxiety is an intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate rapid breathing, sweating, and feeling tired often occur. Treatment for persistent stress and anxiety include psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation, and prescribed medications.
Medications used to treat anxiety and stress include Sertraline, Escitalopram, Fluoxetine, Buspirone, Venlafaxine, Duloxetine, Diazepam, Lorazepam, Pregabalin, Alprazolam and Clonazepam. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include dizziness, insomnia, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, sweating, tremors, sexual problems, headaches, constipation, vison changes, anxiety, weakness, vomiting, depression, hallucinations, aggression and skin rash.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. Studies show that CBD may be effective in alleviating anxiety and could help reduce stress without the negative side effects of prescribed medications. Researchers concluded that endocannabinoids influence
stress and emotion responses because there are cannabinoid receptors in the brain.
Studies currently suggest that CBD counters anxiety by stimulating neurotransmitter systems and neural regeneration. CBD specifically binds to 5-HT1A which is thought to have the strongest role in anxiety disorders. Your body naturally produces cannabinoids, which are used throughout your body and brain in the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).
This system can become dysregulated under chronic stress. However, CBD could help restore balance to the ECS by
preventing overstimulation of your CB1 receptors and by boosting your body’s production of endocannabinoids.
