Social Anxiety and Medical Marijuana: What One Patient’s Case Taught Me

Social anxiety can be debilitating, making it difficult for individuals to engage in daily activities and form meaningful relationships. I worked with a young woman who had been dealing with severe social anxiety for years. She had tried using recreational cannabis in social settings but found that it only heightened her anxiety.

When she came to me, we developed a structured treatment plan using medical marijuana as part of treating her long-term anxiety. By focusing on a regimen that minimized the risk of daytime intoxication, we were able to help her gain more control over her anxiety without negatively impacting her daily responsibilities.

Her case illustrates how medical marijuana, when used in a low-dose, controlled manner, can help patients with social anxiety manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Social anxiety doesn’t have to control your life. With Dr. Jordan Tishler’s expertise in medical marijuana treatment, you can find a solution that works for you.
