Does marijuana help with mental issues?

Okay, I'm 15 and have a lot of stress on me and anger in me, it can get to a point where it feels like my heads being squeezed, I also get panic attacks and social anxiety pretty badly. Not to mention the fact that a lot of the time, things feel unreal. This is all due to a medication called risperdal, which I was forced to be put on against my will, to "help" my anger issues and panic attacks/anxiety. It in fact fucked my life up, I think it may have even caused some brain damage. I recently got into smoking cannabis, and I've just finished tripping for the 4th time. When I'm high I get general changes in reality, it can feel like I'm ahead of time, not keeping up with time and unrealness (is that even a word?). But when I'm tripping, I get euphoria and uncontrollably laugh, and the feeling of unrealness feels more like escapism. Anyway, I've come down from my trip and I feel very relaxed and happy. Things feel real, my head doesn't feel like it's under pressure and I'm not so irritable. Is marijuana helping with my issues?

sounds like it is yea, its helped me out too. ive had sleeping issues and now i sleep like a baby since i started. its also helped me with some anger issues and depression ^_^

Marijuana can help some mental conditions, but it can also make them worse for some people.

It's really up to you (or a doctor, depending on where you live) to determine whether or not it's suitable for you. I'd toke up again (just a bit) and really take note of how you feel. Something to consider as well, is that your high will change as you smoke more, and become more tolerant and experienced with the bud.

Peace

I was bout to shoot my self in the mouth with my .357 and i almost overdosed on prozac before i found weed

I think when I'm high, I feel more like a psycopath then I already am. so yes, it does help with me.
