Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental health condition where a person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours. OCD can affect men, women, and children. Some people start having symptoms early, often around puberty, but it usually starts during early adulthood. While there are a variety of treatment options for OCD, including therapeutic and pharmaceutical options, many patients with the condition report that these treatments are unable to fully manage the condition.
OCD is a health condition like any other, so there’s nothing to feel ashamed or embarrassed about. There are 2 main ways to get help: refer yourself directly to a psychological therapies service – find a psychological therapies service in your area, see a GP – they’ll ask about your symptoms and can refer you to a local psychological therapies service if necessary.
People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) report that the severity of symptoms was reduced by about half within four hours of smoking cannabis. After smoking cannabis, users with OCD reported it reduced their compulsions, intrusions, or unwanted thoughts, and anxiety.
A new study published this month in the Journal of Affective Disorders is pointing towards cannabis as a potential treatment for OCD. The researchers from Washington State University found that acute cannabis use, and especially cannabis with higher levels of CBD, was able to reduce symptoms of OCD quickly and temporarily such as anxiety, compulsions, and intrusive thoughts.
