Abstract

The study highlights the growing global importance of mental health, particularly considering the prevalence of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. In this context, cannabidiol (CBD) from the Cannabis sativa plant emerges as a potential treatment, given its wide molecular interaction and anxiolytic properties. The reviewed research consistently indicates the positive effects of CBD in reducing anxiety across a variety of conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social anxiety disorder. However, the complex relationship between CBD plasma concentration and its therapeutic effects, along with the lack of detailed data on its pharmacokinetics, underscores the need for more clinical studies to validate its efficacy and safety in various psychiatric conditions. Additionally, CBD presents broad therapeutic potential in other areas such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease, as well as its role in modulating brain activity in areas related to anxiety and psychosis. However, the complexity of CBD effects and the need to explore individual differences in treatment response highlight the importance of a broader and more careful approach in investigating its therapeutic effects.
