Sometimes music is the medicine to heal the soul. You can feel the joy through the melody. Relaxing the mind is the best way to be in a good state. Learning some really great guitar retro bowl skills.

Playing the guitar is such a great way to boost mental health. It’s not just about the music; it’s the focus, creativity, and relaxation that make it so beneficial for the brain. Whether you’re learning new chords or just strumming for fun, it’s a fantastic way to keep your mind engaged and reduce stress.

But sometimes, it’s too late for the guitar to help. That was the case for me with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. When I was diagnosed, nothing else seemed to work. I went straight to cannabis-based treatment for OCD in the UK, at the Releaf clinic. The process started with an online consultation, where I discussed my symptoms and treatment goals. After that, they provided a personalized plan and prescription, which was delivered to my home.
