Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition that results from witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. PTSD is most commonly associated with veterans and war, but anyone can suffer from the disorder after a traumatic event such as an accident, assault, or natural disaster. Symptoms of PTSD include anxiety, stress, and disturbing thoughts and dreams related to the traumatic event. Patients benefit from medical marijuana for PTSD by reducing anxiety and stress, improving sleep, and helping improve overall emotional regulation.
