PTSD and medical cannabis: FAQs
What PTSD symptoms should I describe in the review?
Describe nightmares, flashbacks, hypervigilance, sleep disruption, avoidance, irritability, panic, and how symptoms affect daily function.
Should I mention trauma therapy or psychiatric medication?
Yes. Share therapy history, antidepressants, sleep medicines, benzodiazepines, mood stabilizers, and any recent medication changes.
Can THC worsen PTSD symptoms?
THC can worsen anxiety, dissociation, panic, or paranoia in some people. A clinician should review trauma history and mental health risks first.
When is PTSD care too urgent for this pathway?
Suicidal thoughts, unsafe behavior, psychosis, mania, severe dissociation, or immediate crisis symptoms need urgent mental health support.
How does PT33 fit into PTSD support?
If approved, PT33 documents the clinician-reviewed indication and limits for Thailand. It does not replace trauma-focused treatment or follow-up care.
What does the consultation fee cover?
Consultations start at ฿500 for the practitioner’s assessment and advice. The fee does not guarantee a prescription; the final price depends on the service you choose.
