People with ADHD have
difficulty concentrating on tasks and cannot stay still or calm, can cannabis
help?
A new treatment proposes
to use some molecules of the cannabis like the cannabidiol (CBD) to treat the
disorder by deficit of attention with hyperactivity known like ADHD. This
disorder is related to neurological development and is characterized by inattention,
hyperactivity and impulsivity; this condition is present in about 6-9% of
children and young adults, and about 5% of all adults worldwide. Science has
reported that the condition may be due to a lack of dopamine in the prefrontal
cortex region of the brain; this neurotransmitter is involved in thought
processes such as memory and attention. People with ADHD can never sit still
and feel the need to always move, constantly interrupting others, not
controlling their compulsive behaviors, and finding it very difficult to
concentrate.
In adolescents and
adults, ADHD hinders many areas, they do not realize the details, they make
mistakes through carelessness, in schoolwork, at work or in other activities;
they have problems maintaining attention in their tasks or games, including in
conversations, meetings or long readings; they seem not to listen when spoken
to directly. It is as if they do not understand what they are being told, are
unable to follow directions, finish homework or schoolwork, sometimes start
homework, but soon lose orientation and are easily distracted. Another thing
that occurs in this condition is that they lose the objects necessary to carry
out their activities being distracted in all their daily tasks.
Can cannabis be effective in treating this
condition and improving patients? The relationship between cannabis and its
effect on ADHD has been studied and there is evidence that some symptoms of the
disorder can be controlled, taking into account, that compounds of cannabis
such as CBD can give positive therapeutic results suggesting that this
substance can improve cognitive ability and impulse control through the
regulation of body homeostasis, since the decreased production of some
neurotransmitters is involved in the disorder, for example; in some research
the use of CBD has shown to have certain effects similar to conventional
medications in restoring the balance of dopamine levels in the brain. On this
basis, it is suggested that because people with ADHD do not experience adverse
effects with the use of CBD, cannabis is better at treating ADHD than any
traditional drug with known side effects.
Cannabinoids
such as CBD, are active compounds in cannabis oils, these substances have shown
great potential in improving the mental health of people with ADHD, since- as
discussed- they can facilitate the supply of dopamine to the brain, however, it
should be borne in mind that these substances, like many others in mental
health cases, must be dosed in a personalized manner attending to individual
effects of the patient to achieve their optimal minimum effective dose and make
the treatment in the patient really effective. It is hoped that in the future,
research will continue to provide evidence that CBD can be a safe treatment for
ADHD.
A fundamental aspect of the use of CBD for ADHD is that it is an
all-natural dietary supplement, with no unwanted or unpleasant effects, it does
not have psychoactive properties and it does not create addiction of any kind.
It is a natural molecule of the cannabis plant that patients could even
cultivate in their own garden. Thanks to the use of the oil of CBD many
patients have reported a better rest, less stress and a diminution of their
episodes of depression, so CBD as treatment for this disorder seems an idea
that promises to be effective.
