A few months ago, there was a particular meeting held by physician Andrea Polidoro in favour of the use of cannabis within psychological and psychiatric pathways. His interventions are not only interesting, but also fundamental for medicine to change.
Studies on cannabis in the mental area
Cannabis is going through a real transition period. While on the one hand we have those who continue to point the finger at its use, there are those who embrace its use, which is useful in so many fields. Can it therefore also be useful in the treatment of psychiatric illnesses? According to Dr Andrea Polidoro, it is possible to include cannabis within a personalised treatment, created ad hoc for each individual patient. It is essential to start with medical knowledge first, trying as much as possible to make doctors aware of this specific use of cannabis. Cannabis for medical use can be an important ally in the treatment of mental illness. However, it is essential to start with the doctors, who must be the first to believe in these new ideas, without necessarily remaining anchored to past ideas.
Before leaving you with the video, we would like to introduce Dr. Andrea Polidoro. He began his studies at the University La Sapienza in Rome, then specialised in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Italian Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Society (SIPP) in Rome. In particular, during his studies he focused on the holistic consideration of the individual.
In his medical approaches, he gives particular importance to what the patient experiences and has experienced, his emotions, perception and relationships. His aim is to achieve the broadest possible resolution, addressing not only the problem directly, but also everything around it, even indirectly. At the centre of his specialised technique is the patient, not the disease.
In his ongoing search for less invasive and more useful techniques, Dr Andrea Polidoro crosses paths with Nutraceuticals and Medical Cannabis. In recent years, in fact, he has been devoting himself to their knowledge and application, becoming a national consultant for the Cannabiscienza Association, holding meetings and interventions aimed at informing on the clinical use of Cannabis Medica in Psychiatry.
We invite you to watch the following video, which is about an hour long, to learn more about this topic.
