Does CBD Improve Mental Health?

CBD is so hot right now. The compound is being added to everything from gummies to lattes, attached to claims about how it can improve health in any number of ways. But what do we really know about the validity of those claims? And what are we actually getting in consumer CBD products?

  1. Half of the nation of my little Britain suffering from depression medical cbd do work but evil government do private treatment clinics open to make money around united Kingdom should be on NHS not on private

  2. Good video but surprised there was no mention of the 2019 Meta- Analysis and Meta Regression analysis that actually found a larger effect than placebo.

    "Effects of Cannabinoid Administration for Pain: A Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression" 2019

    Results found;

    "In this meta-analytic study, we coalesced results from peer-reviewed primary research articles that characterized cannabinoid- and placebo-induced reductions of subjective pain ratings across medical conditions. Our findings extend current understanding about cannabinoids and pain, taking a meta-regression approach to examine relationships between various study-level characteristics and drug-induced pain reductions. When considering reductions in self-reported pain, we observed that cannabinoid administration was associated with a ‘medium-to-large’ (Cohen, 1988) pooled effect size across included studies. Importantly, cannabinoid administration was associated with statistically significant greater pain reduction than placebo administration, which yielded a ‘small-to-medium’ (Cohen, 1988) pooled effect size"

    "Finally, results from our meta-regression analysis suggested that, when controlling for other explanatory variables, drug administration conditions and sample size predicted observed pain reduction. Taken together, these meta-analytic outcomes provide some evidence that cannabinoids, relative to placebo, might mitigate subjective pain reporting among those experiencing chronic pain tied to various medical conditions."

    I think this definitely should of been mentioned in the first section of the video.

  3. In my experience the dosage of CBD has to be large in order to be effective. If you don’t buy it in it’s powered extract form then it is too expensive for many people. It does help with anxiety, inflammation, sleep for sure, but the dosage is likely 300mg a day at minimum. For good sleep I use about this much, with some reishi mushroom from real mushrooms, Apigenin, and occasionally use Ashwagandha( either KSM-66 or Sensoril is even better), along with l Theanine

  4. So what there are not enough studies. We were told that a vaccine that had only a year research would save us all so Im willing to believe that it is effective in what is being claimed to help with.

  5. When use cbd only placebo. When use thc, but not heavy and clean i sleep good, eat a lot, pain lose in 10 minutes, every breath disease off. Difference are in my body. But in my Country if the people stay good is a problem.

  6. I’ve been on CBD oil for a few months for refractory anxiety, depression and chronic pain and it has done absolutely nothing. Literally nothing.
    I’ve tried two different oils, too. Both prescribed by a cannabis doctor.
    It does seem to have perhaps slightly worsened my anxiety though, so I’m not going to continue with it.
    I don’t get all the hype!

  7. I have a severe anxiety disorder where it causes waves of burning electrical shocks to wave through my body in floods….. Doctors would never tell me what it was and never could help me get rid of it,, it was painful.. I tried CBD flower and immediately those things went away I still have anxiety but I don't have the pain associated with it..

  8. This is sort of a typical doctor answer you'll get. Just like GMO's are good for you and processed food isn't so bad. It's too bad our government is in bed with the industrial agricultural factory farms and big pharma. Maybe then we'd have some real evidence of cures for illnesses, not just medications to cover up the problem (which allows a cycle of illness that big pharma loves). All I know is CBD works wonders for my anxiety and my sleep.

  9. Navigating the regulatory landscape in the CBD industry can be complex, but it's reassuring to know that companies like MidnightCBD prioritize compliance and transparency. Their adherence to regulatory standards instills confidence in their products' safety and efficacy.

  10. Και βέβαια αναβαθμίζει την ψυχική υγεία, παίρνω CBD με THC 25 χρόνια,εχω δουλειά, ζωη, υποχρεώσεις καί μια ήρεμη ζωή όλα αυτά τα χρόνια, κοιμάμαι σωστά τρώω σωστά καί δεν παίρνω κανένα χημικό φάρμακο στην ηλικία των 60 ετων που βρίσκομαι σήμερα.😊

  11. WRONG!! CBD Isolate is what the doctors use which is inferior or way less effective compared to the whole plant or the complete genetic code of the plant.

    CBD Isolate is 1 compound
    Hemp Paste has 550 compounds.

    God or Mother Nature created the whole plant and CBD Isolate or CBD oil is incomplete. HempPaste is the ONLY way to go. This video is not helpful as Doctors use Isolate.

  12. 25mg prevents me from getting butterflies before and during public speaking and helps me stay asleep longer. I don't care what any study says because I'm that guy who is always trying things and being like "i don't feel anything". With CBD I am certain of these effects for me.

  13. I have taken full spectrum cbd, (isolate doesn't work for me) on and off for years for anxious depression. Im significantly better with it. I was taking many supplements, so I didn't know what was helpful. It is definitely the cbd and curcumin. Hope this helps someone.

  14. so I'm 23 and have severe spinal nerve pain , aside from the strong opiates I take I have just started cbd
    again after a long time. I vaporize some pretty potent cbd hash. does not kill my pain but it's definitely relaxing.

  15. I’m thinking of starting this to cure my stress and depression Luis my back pain. Can u take it everyday or is it like one gummy or pill as needed (every other day.. every 2 days)

    Just asking
