Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Summary:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition associated with symptoms of anxiety and fear in response to a traumatic experience. Some recent surveys of CBD users reported PTSD symptom relief (such as reduction of anxiety/improve sleep). There are several clinical studies looking at the effects of cannabinoids (such as CBD) on PTSD but they are preliminary and weak in their design due to their limited subject size. Some of these ongoing trials are focusing on the potential impact cannabinoids (including CBD) have to reduce traumatic fear memory associated with PTSD.
