Anxiety doesn’t seem like a life-threatening disorder. So, why should I bother getting treatment? That might be the thought in your head. But unless you've suffered or are aware of how anxiety affects the body, you likely won’t understand. 

Major Effects of Anxiety

Anxiety affects people differently. But some of the major effects include: 

  • A sense of doom. You feel a sense of impending doom. That keeps you from concentrating on anything else. It also takes up a lot of your time, so you end up not getting anything done at all. 

  • Depression. Anxiety could lead to depression. That’s because it forces you to focus on negative thoughts or situations. This can lead to social withdrawal and loss of interest in activities you loved. 

  • Panic attacks. This can result in several physical symptoms like lightheadedness, heart palpitations, and chest pain. 

  • Irritability. Constant worry contributes to your overall feelings of irritability. 

What Does CBD Do? 

Are you wondering how CBD for anxiety works? CBD is effective at managing the pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities. And taken orally, as in the form of a capsule, through vaping, or a tincture, the substance eases anxiety and depression levels. It makes that happen by interacting with the endocannabinoid system of the body, which is linked to mood, relaxation, and self-regulation. Our bodies produce endocannabinoids which bind to the receptors in our systems. But people who don’t generate enough cannabinoids benefit from the use of CBD products. 

How Does CBD Help? 

It eases the anxiety and depression, producing a calming effect. That calming effect is crucial in getting a person who is struggling with anxiety to focus, be at ease, and stop feeling that they exist under a cloud of impending doom. If you’ve tried a number of options to help with your anxiety and you don’t want to rely too much on your medication, then turning to CBD products might be a good option for you. 

Is CBD Another Anti-Depressant? 

No, it’s not an anti-depressant but it does have the same effect, along with anti-inflammatory qualities. CBD, though, works much faster than medication which often takes weeks before they work. If you need fast-acting relief, then CBD is a good supplement to your prescription. 

Are There Any Side Effects? 

Yes. But long term use of anxiety medication results in side effects like headaches, drowsiness or fatigue, confusion, blurry vision, loss of balance or coordination, and more. For CBD products, though, it’s more a case of some people who might be sensitive to CBD might experience an upset stomach, tiredness, or feel sleepy. It depends on your underlying condition, though. If you’ve smoked marijuana before, you might develop a tolerance for CDB, which means you might need a higher dosage of CBD for the effects to work on you. If you haven’t tried CBD at all, then start small. If you consume the right dosage, you won’t experience any diarrhea or fatigue. If you’re taking medication, talk to your doctor before you try CBD.
