Question 42 – Can CBD help with OCD?  Next question is can CBD help with OCD? Honestly, there’s not a lot of good clinical research that suggests that it’s helping to ping on all that stuff that can occur with OCD, but what I can tell you Is that both cannabidiol and magnesium in higher amounts in the diet can lessen that urge for that compulsive drive to, to consistently obsess about over, you know, a particular issue, it’s going to help things to be calm, it’s going to help you to process it better, and it’s going to help things to be a little bit more smooth, so even though there hasn’t been a good The volume of clinical research to support that the peripheral research that has to do with anxiety, depression insomnia and seizures.
All suggest that it lends itself well to helping to calm those impulse kind of hammerings that can happen. So I don’t think that there’s a good, there’s a ton of good clinical data, but I can say anecdotally and based on peripheral evidence, it shows that there’s probably some good opportunity that could help.
It could help calm the mind and calm the body so that you’re approaching things in a way that’s a lot. A lot smoother and, and that you’re able to go from task to task easily without leaving one undone or neglected or without becoming sidetracked before before one’s completely done. I, and to, to be very crystal clear, clinical true OCD is very, very different than just somebody that’s focused on being organized, meticulous.
Compulsive about the way that something resolves That’s just regular organization, regular good self-maintenance and self-keeping, And good, good organizational skills in the brain. OCD is, and in the mind, and the thought process is OCD, and it’s clinical. Context is much, much, much more different and significantly characterized by much different types of behavior that are, are more pronounced, you know, anything that’s a behavioral disorder is usually an amplified version of something that’s a normally not only healthy, but almost non-negotiable behavior.
So… Those organizational skills that help you stay on time or have good hygiene Or just keep things looking sharp and tidy like that’s just that’s just good living Yeah, those when they are amplified and out of control Or interfere in your ability to just have regular good good daily life That’s that’s when you start kind of seeing exactly to what degree that type of behavior goes out the door.
So You know, for true clinical OCD like I said, there’s not as much good clinical information on it, but for healthy behaviors that you might feel are a little uncomfortable, or maybe you’re a little hyper or something, or you have a hard time switching topics, like that’s fine. It’ll probably help you out quite a lot.
Okay, cool.
