There are several neuropsychiatric disorders relating to anxiety, including but not limited to, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety. These disorders combined have a prevalence of 29% in the United States and most go undiagnosed or are under-treated. Generalized anxiety disorder, along with the other anxiety-related disorders, are commonly treated with antidepressant drugs and anxiolytic drugs. These medications are linked to limited efficacy and adverse effects. Alternative therapies need to be identified that may have better efficacy and are better tolerated than the current available treatments. There is some evidence that suggests that CBD is effective in reducing anxiety.
