Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand Your concern.
Yes Marijuana can help in relieving headache and dizziness due to anxiety and depression. However it increases risk of shizoprenia among young.
It also increases risk of suicidal tendency and addiction.
There are good and safe alternative options like SSRI e.g Paroxyl CR. Mantle relaxation excersize like Yoga and Meditation are also helpful.
Hope it helps best. Take your best care.
