Hi Merry, volunteer mentor

I agree with what you said except some doctors are very traditional and if CBD is mentioned, being a component of marijuana, they will tell their patients no way, and they should not consider it until the FDA approves it. Meanwhile there are potentially very serious side effects to some of the psychiatric drugs currently prescribed and no or very few studies on the long term effects of taking these psychiatric medications. . If this comes up with your MD and they are outright opposed , my advice would be to get a second opinion. Some doctors are more informed than others on this subject.
