A compound found in marijuana can help treat schizophrenia as effectively as standard antipsychotic drugs—and with fewer side effects—according to the results of a new clinical trial, reports The Fix columnist Maia Szalavitz in Time. Researchers at University of Cologne in Germany studied 39 people with schizophrenia, all hospitalized for a psychotic episode. Twenty of the patients were given cannabidiol (CBD), a substance found in marijuana that is associated with its mellowing, anti-anxiety effects (not THC—the main ingredient in marijuana, which has been found to worsen schizophrenia). The other participants were given amisulpride, an antipsychotic medication. At the end of the four-week trial, both groups showed significant clinical improvement in their schizophrenic symptoms. “The results were amazing,” says Daniele Piomelli, professor of pharmacology at the University of California-Irvine and a co-author of the study. “Not only was [CBD] as effective as standard antipsychotics, but it was also essentially free of the typical side effects seen with antipsychotic drugs.” Antipsychotic medications can cause serious, sometimes permanent movement disorders and other side effects such as weight gain and movement problems. In the study, these side effects were observed in those taking amisulpride, but not in those taking CBD. “These exciting findings should stimulate a great deal of research,” says Dr. John Krystal, chair of psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine, who was not associated with the study. He noted that CBD, in addition to having fewer side effects, also seemed to work better on schizophrenia’s negative symptoms, which are notoriously difficult to treat, including: social withdrawal, blunting of pleasure, and lack of motivation

ReplyDeleteI decided to share this to help someone out there who is still held with schizophrenia.
ReplyDeletei suffered from chronic schizophrenia for 20 years and i have traveled round the world from one hospital to another neurologist and spent a lot of money, one day I took time to search internet which i found a lot of people thanking Dr. Nelson concerning the same problem and i discussed it with my wife and she said we should give a try so we order his product which i took for some months and am very much okay now.He is one of the Honest men out there. If you want to contact him on how to get his medicine or for info just reach him directly on drdavismartin62@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to everyone who have or cares for a mentally ill person. My daughter was diagnosed with schizophrenia 10years ago, She had gone through several bouts of depression, delusion and hallucinations. She always think CIA agents were spying on her, FBI agents looking to bring her down, everyone is plotting or trying to kill her, which weren't real; over 10 hospitalizations in just four years. Coping with schizophrenia wasn’t easy. She had attempted suicide and all treatment has done little for her improvement. We've finally benefited from some real dedicated support group of people with natural treatment and a small number of friends and family that knew and loved us. Dr (Mrs) Vanessa treatment has turned her life around, she is now without a symptom. I don’t want people to feel that suicide is their only option, know you are loved, you are valuable, you are worth more than your darkness. Reach out and get the support you need and deserve from suicide prevention resources page or email: drvanessah@gmail.com to start your natural treatment, Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. Our hope is that one-day schizophrenia-related brain disorder receives respect, appropriate treatment and an opportunity to live a meaningful and satisfying life in a compassionate community free of discrimination.
ReplyDeleteAs a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from fibroid, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy wife suffered from fibroid for more than 20 year of marriage after our first son and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she had irregular and painful menstrual flow and the size of it was 5cm, and she always complain of stomach pain. we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and she left the contact of the doctor who had the natural cure to fibroid. I never imagined fibroid has a natural cure if not surgery not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it as instructed by Dr Godstime, and in one months time we went to the hospital for scan and the doctor confirmed that there is no trace of fibroid and now she is fully okay, even up till this moment she is so full of life. fibroid has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on: Drgodstimehealinghome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2349063469910 on how to get his medication.
