Depression

Depression
Depression is a debilitating mood disorder characterized by sadness and/or a loss of interest in favorite activities. Furthermore , it is surprisingly common and affects approximately 11% of Canadians between 15 and 24 years as well as one in every fifteen adults. Consequently, these overwhelming feelings of hopelessness can lead to emotional and physical interference’s in work and home life.

There are a variety of causes ranging from a chemical imbalance, abuse, loss or other major life events. As a result, there are several treatments including lifestyle changes, antidepressants, talk therapy,  Electroconvulsive Therapy – and, more recently, cannabis. Cannabis is an effective alternative to antidepressants. It is shown to increase serotonin levels and reduce stress – two of the leading causes of depression. In addition, cannabis works faster and more naturally.
