CBD Oil helps produces and trigger neurotransmitters in the brain like serotonin ‘Feel Good Hormone’ and has similar properties to antidepressants
“The neural network of the endocannabinoid system works similarly to the way that serotonin, dopamine, and other systems do, and, according to some research, cannabinoids have an effect on serotonin levels. Whereas a low dose of THC increases serotonin, high doses cause a decrease that could worsen the condition. 312 In 2009 researchers concluded that there was substantial evidence pointing to endocannabinoid signaling as a target for the pharmacotherapy of depression. 313 Authors of a 2016 study wrote that “CBD could represent a novel fast antidepressant drug, via enhancing both serotonergic and glutamate cortical signaling through a 5-HT1A receptor-dependent mechanism.”

CBD regulates dopamine , calms the mind and racing thoughts
“The dopamine deficiency observed in ADHD patients can be balanced through cannabinoid therapy. High-CBD medicines may allow for more focus and concentration without the psychoactivity (NO THC)”
“Cannabis appears to treat ADD and ADHD by increasing the availability of dopamine. This then has the same effect but is a different mechanism of action than stimulants like Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Dexedrine amphetamine, which act by binding to the dopamine and interfering with the metabolic breakdown of dopamine.”
