But what is depression?
“Depression is a serious mental illness that negatively affects how you feel, think and act.”
Clinical depression can be caused by several factors, and our profound sadness there is only a symptom. Some of the most common reasons are biological, which is literally a chemical imbalance in the brain. Other biological factors cause endocrine disorders such as PMS and PMDD, imbalances or post-partum and menopause. Knowing this, it should come as no surprise that women are twice more likely to be depressed than men.
Other factors that cause depression include genetics – which tends to be hereditary, but no gene has been identified – stress and chronic illness and disability. Depression also occurs in a previously known as “Manic Depression” and more correctly called “bipolar disorder” in which patients’ cycle between depression and manic states. Alcohol, of course, especially if taken in excess can also lead to depression.
In most cases of depression treated with drugs such as Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft, but recent data have shown a possible treatment for marijuana as well, and one without the side effects of insomnia, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, and, in addition.
Used as a relaxing, marijuana helps to stem the vigilance that comes from depression, and calm the anxiety that often occurs as a symptom. Because he is “delighted” properties, marijuana also helps to lighten the mood, add a little energy to the position of the patient.
Patients with bipolar disorder, despite some concerns about the use of marijuana is part of the mania worse cycle, most have used the drug report that the cycle less often, and feel more stable in general .
Some doctors argue that the prolonged use of marijuana can actually cause depression, but there is no concrete evidence to support this. In the recent Australian study has found that when other factors such as smoking, alcohol, other drugs, etc., have been removed, there was no difference in the number of depressed people who had or had not used marijuana.
In the medical marijuana community is one that will bring marijuana is the best choice for treating depression. Patients seem to know better, especially when depression is that each case is unique, but is generally relaxing Indica-dominant strains, but sativa dominant strains are more mixed.
