Does Cannabis Affect Schizophrenia Treatment? In this informative video, we’ll cover the relationship between cannabis and schizophrenia treatment. We’ll discuss the two primary components of cannabis: THC and CBD, and how they interact with schizophrenia symptoms. THC is known to have negative effects on individuals with schizophrenia, potentially worsening psychotic symptoms and increasing anxiety and paranoia. We’ll explore the implications of THC use, particularly for those with a genetic predisposition to the disorder, and the challenges that cannabis use disorder presents in treatment. On the other hand, we’ll also look into CBD, which is gaining attention for its potential therapeutic benefits. Unlike THC, CBD does not induce psychosis and may help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and psychosis. We’ll share insights on how CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system and its possible role in enhancing traditional antipsychotic medications. However, we will address the current limitations of research in this area and the need for further studies to establish the safety and effectiveness of cannabis-derived treatments.
