There is a growing body of evidence that CBD can help with symptoms of depression as well as help with other issues commonly associated with depression such as anxiety or panic disorder. Anxiety and depression are often treated using the same medications which suggests they may be influenced by the same brain processes. Recent studies suggest that CBD has a positive effect on serotonin receptors. Additionally CBD can help reduce cravings for tobacco and heroin under certain conditions, according to some research. Animal models of addiction suggest it may also help lessen cravings for alcohol, cannabis, opiates, and stimulants. Talk to your healthcare provider if you take prescription medications that come with a “grapefruit warning.” Both CBD and grapefruit have an effect on cytochromes P450 (CYPs), a family of enzymes important to drug metabolism.
