What is Depression?

Let’s Understand What You Are Feeling

Before we get to the nitty-gritty of medical marijuana for depression, you must first identify what depression is since it is easy to confuse
with sadness or grief. When you have it, you will have a persistent suppressed mood and a loss of interest in interesting activities.

There are various types of depression that may affect your mood, hormones, and mind:

• 

  Major Depressive Disorder

  You feel sad all the time, and you lose interest in engaging in activities that you used to find enjoyable.

• 

  Bipolar disorder

  It presents itself as mania with phases of abnormally raised mood.

• 

  Postpartum Depression

  Involves massive shifts in hormones, causing mood swings before or after giving birth.

• 

  Depressive psychosis

  It is one of the more severe mood disorders, often requiring hospitalization.

Why You Should Use MMJ for Depression?

MMJ is perfect for short-term depression management since it is a fast-acting substance, unlike conventional means like talk therapy. Neither does it involve invasive procedures such as electroconvulsive therapy that consists of sending electric currents through your brain until you get a seizure.

Additionally, MMJ does not have side effects that antidepressants and antipsychotic medication cause when treating depression. MMJ will also work under most circumstances, as customers find out, unlike regular medication where most people develop resistance after using a few times.
