Does Usage Of Marijuana Help In Curing Cognitive Disorder?
I have I have an 18 year old son that suffered a traumatic Brian injury when he was 23 months old. He suffers from ADHD symptoms as well as being unable to control his impulsivity and emotions he also has problems with his executive function and has a cognitive disorder. All this means he is hyper active and can t contol his impulses or his emotions. Traditional medications do not help much. Would medical marijuana use help him ?
No. we don't know exactly how the brain works and sadly we don't know how exactly cannabinoids (in the short and long term) modify our neuronal circuit and our mood. so, the pharmacology doesn't give us a definitive solution for the adhd, but neither cannabinoids. however you can talk about this to your general physician. the effectivness of the standard theraphy depends on the level of the disease, but in this case an important role could be played by the organic damage. what the radiologist and the neurologist said about the brain damage?
I went through your details. It is proven that in medicinal doses marijuana can be used to help cognitive disorder. Your psychiatrist or neurologist will be able to give you the perfect guideline.
