The risks of using medicinal cannabinoids like CBD and marijuana to treat mental health problems may outweigh any benefits, according to new evidence.
A meta-analysis published this week in the journal Lancet Psychiatry, which examined data from 83 studies and more than 3,500 participants between 1980 and 2018, found"scarce evidence" to suggest that cannabinoids improved a variety of mental health disorders, including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder and psychosis.
Based on that synthesized data, there's not enough evidence to justify"practitioners using or recommending" cannabis products to treat psychiatric disorders, Dr. Deepak D'Souza, a psychiatry professor at Yale University School of Medicine, who wrote in a comment piece that accompanied the study, told ABC News.
"Using cannabis or cannabinoids in people with psychiatric disorders is not without potentially serious consequences," D'Souza said.

Study Finds Every Style Of Parenting Produces Disturbed, Miserable AdultsSANTA ROSA, CA—A study released by the California Parenting Institute Tuesday shows that every style of parenting inevitably causes children to grow into profoundly unhappy adults. 'Our research suggests that while overprotective parenting ultimately produces adults unprepared to contend with life's difficulties, highly permissive parenting leads to feelings of bitterness and isolation throughout adulthood,' lead researcher Daniel Porter said. 'And, interestingly, we found that anything between those two extremes is equally damaging, always resulting in an adult who suffers from some debilitating combination of unpreparedness and isolation. Despite great variance in parenting styles across populations, the end product is always the same: a profoundly flawed and joyless human being.' The study did find, however, that adults often achieve temporary happiness when they have children of their own to perpetuate the cycle of human misery.
