Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of cannabinoids - what does this mean

Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of cannabinoids are caused by the disruption of the endocannabinoid system in the brain. this disruption can lead to changes in mood, memory, cognition, and behaviour, as well as increased anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis. long-term use of cannabinoids can also result in addiction and withdrawal symptoms.

What happens during the disease - mental and behavioural disorders due to use of cannabinoids

The pathogenesis of mental and behavioural disorders due to the use of cannabinoids is complex and not fully understood. it is believed that cannabinoids can affect the brain’s reward and pleasure pathways, resulting in changes in mood, motivation, and cognition. additionally, cannabinoids can alter the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate, which can lead to changes in behaviour, including paranoia, anxiety, and depression. long-term use of cannabinoids can also lead to an increased risk of addiction and other mental health issues.
