    How women’s mental health is affected during menopause

Depression is a worrying disease globally for the mental health of the population, especially in Brazil, which is at the top of this world ranking. It causes chemical changes in the brains of affected patients, with a range of consequences on their behavior and mental health, including mood changes, sadness, melancholy and even suicidal ideation.

Studies suggest that one of the therapeutic properties of the cannabis plant, cannabidiol, better known as CBD, can reduce anxiety and depression by increasing the availability of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which play an important role in the regulation of humor.

And, combined with therapeutic monitoring, the results can be superior to those obtained with conventional treatments.

CBD works directly on the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is responsible for regulating several bodily functions, including mood, sleep, and stress response. CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the ECS, helping to reduce anxiety and depression and promoting feelings of relaxation.

“CBD, accompanied by a doctor and also used as a complementary treatment to other drugs, can be prescribed for various diseases, including depression, which is producing short-term results, modifying not only the main symptoms, but also regulating sleep of patients, among other factors,” says Maria Klien, psychologist specializing in cannabis medicine and partner of Native Med and from CB Farma.
