The Hidden Risks of Kratom

Kratom is not the miracle cure influencers claim for anxiety and depression. It binds to

the same brain receptors as opioids, providing only temporary relief. The FDA has

linked it to over ninety deaths. Regular users develop dependence. It is completely

unregulated, meaning it could contain heavy metals or salmonella. Withdrawal symptoms mirror

opioid addiction, causing sweating, insomnia, and severe anxiety. Therapy and prescribed

medications have decades of safety data. Kratom has marketing. There is a reason doctors are

not prescribing it for mental health.
