Conditions

Thinking of starting your medical cannabis journey with Alternaleaf? We go into a bit more detail on how medical cannabis could potentially help with certain conditions below.

Anxiety

Fear, worry, unease, even dread can be natural reactions to stressful situations that anyone can experience. Though unpleasant in the moment, it’s normal. But for some, anxiety is more than a passing feeling, and when symptoms persist, this can affect daily life.

Depression

Depression can be a common, yet serious, debilitating mood disorder. Symptoms can range from persistent low mood and lethargy to an unshakeable feeling that life itself is not worth living.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

This condition is usually associated with witnessing or nearly experiencing death, serious injury and/or sexual violence. Some of the symptoms include: recurring, intrusive memories or nightmares of the traumatic event, persistent feelings of guilt, shame, fear or anger, and self-destructive or reckless behaviour.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

People with this condition develop obsessive and compulsive behaviours. Obsessive thoughts, urges or images enter the mind, causing unease and anxiety. A compulsion is a repetitive act that will help relieve these obsessive thoughts.

Insomnia

Someone suffering from insomnia will regularly struggle to get a good night's sleep. And no matter who you are - age, gender, occupation - sleep is essential in allowing us to function day-to-day.
