• Description:
  Anxiety disorders are the most commonly diagnosed mental disorders worldwide, and their prevalence continues to rise, leading to significant social and economic burdens. Recent interest has focused on CBD as a potential treatment. This systematic review assesses the current evidence on the efficacy of CBD in treating anxiety and related disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Unlike open-label trials prone to placebo bias, this study reviews randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. A review of literature was conducted using the Google Scholar database to gather information on "cannabidiol," specifically focusing on its relationship with "anxiety," "social anxiety disorder", "post-traumatic stress disorder” and ,,human trials." Positive outcomes were observed with 300 mg CBD doses, reducing anxiety in SAD patients, tremor in Parkinson’s disease, and anxiety in ASD and opioid-dependent individuals. Minimal improvements were noted in PTSD patients with sexual trauma. Further research is needed to clarify CBD’s therapeutic potential in diverse clinical contexts.
