Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found in our brain that plays a critical role in mental health. Low serotonin levels are commonly associated with depression or mood imbalances. Not having enough serotonin can also cause anxiety related symptoms.

Oftentimes, our ECS becomes fatigued due to external and internal imbalances. Supplementing our ECS with naturally occurring cannabinoids, like CBD, help bring our body and mind back to balance. Many studies indicate that CBD is effective in managing stress and anxiety symptoms instead of conventional medications, however it’s important to talk to your doctor before making changes to any treatment plans.

CBD for Depression
It’s important to understand the research around CBD for depression is limited, however there’s convincing data showing the benefits of CBD for depression particularly when dealing with anxiety, cognitive impairment and social discomfort. THC and CBD are known to be helpful natural alternatives for conditions related to depression, such as chronic pain.

Experts believe that CBD has a positive effect on serotonin receptors in the brain by affecting how our brain interacts with these chemical receptors already in our system. Another animal study found that CBD played a role in the effects of their brains producing both antidepressant and anti-anxiety receptors.

A later study in 2018, found that CBD has anti-stress effects which can reduce depression related symptoms.
