Abstract

This literature review examines theoretical frameworks related to applying the principles of biomolecular psychology and psychoneuroimmunology to devise a nutraceutical protocol utilizing phytochemicals for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder with a particular focus on modulating the endocannabinoid system through the utilization of molecules inherent in chemovars of Cannabis sativa. It provides a psychosocial overview of posttraumatic stress disorder and the historically controversial and noncontroversial nature of the biologically derived molecules that have demonstrated efficacy in addressing the effects major stressors have on the biomolecular mechanisms that cause mood disorders that manifest themselves as symptoms of PTSD.
