Question: Can marijuana help schizophrenia !?
Answers:
not sure, but the right meds can!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Expression of the cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R), the site of action of the main chemical ingredient of marijuana, is significantly reduced in the brains of individuals with schizophrenia!.

Activation of CB1R impairs signaling by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important neurotransmitter essential for core cognitive processes such as working memory!.

The use of marijuana in individuals with schizophrenia appears to worsen this deficit in GABA synthesis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness and shouldn't be treated by any over the counter, or illegal substances!. You should get on psychotropics prescribed by a psychiatrist!. (As an aside, marijuana cannot cause schizophrenia although it may exacerbate the symptoms!. Schizophrenia is caused by a chemical imbalance of the brain, often linked to genetics!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
