Cannabis

Under Cannabinoids, "Additionally, there are other treatments with stronger efficacy and less risks (e.g., psychotherapy, serotonergic antidepressants, adrenergic inhibitors)." This is unsourced and potentially dangerous, potentially in error, over-simplifying by generalising all cannabinoids together, with no mention of CBD (or THC:CBD or other ratios), nor entourage effects, nor terpenes. And "The use of medical marijuana for PTSD is controversial, with only a handful of states permitting its use for that purpose." switches to the more controversial term "marijuana" rather than "cannabis" as used in the prior paragraph. Both sentences combined read like drug-war propaganda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.135.8.241 (talk) 00:41, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 81.135.8.241, I've moved your comment to a new section for readability. I'm not knowledgeable on types of cannabis, so I couldn't add anything, but I did try to make it sound a bit more neutral. Thanks for your suggestions! If you have any more, feel free to leave them here and optionally add the code {{Edit semi-protected}} (which will show other users that there's an edit request) and someone may incorporate the changes. — The King of Mars ^«talk» 10:35, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 2 June 2019

This edit request to Posttraumatic stress disorder has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Under the "Prevention" section, it reads, "The World Health Organization recommends against the use of benzodiazepines and antidepressants in those having experienced trauma.[130]"

The reference (130) indicates that antidepressants are not recommended for, "Does the person have significant symptoms of acute stress after RECENT (within approximately one month) exposure to a potentially traumatic event?" For standard PTSD (lasting for over a month), antidepressants are recommended when EMDR and CBT are not effective or available. It is also not recommended for adolescents with PTSD.

My requested change is, "The World Health Organization recommends against the use of benzodiazepines in those having experienced trauma, as well as the use of antidepressants for those suffering from significant symptoms of acute stress (symptoms lasting less than one month). However, antidepressants are recommended for those suffering from standard PTSD (symptoms lasting over a month), when EMDR and CBT are not effective or available, with the exception of children and adolescents."

Section titled Iraq removed

I'll include the full text here, but one citation isn't to be found in PubMed, the other, austinpublishing.com is on Beal's list of predatory journals and the first citation is known predatory researchgate. Removed section:

Iraq

Various academic studies^[1]^[2]^[3] estimate that Iraqis greatly suffer from numerous untreated mental health issues, such as; depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD alone affects between 20-60% of population aged 18 and above), whose cause can be traced to Saddam’s horrific human rights abuses, as well as greatly accelerating due to the the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the overall consequences of the Iraqi War such as violence, terrorism, displacement and low socio-economic status.^[4]
