Hello.........
Thanks for your query. Medical marijuana might not be helpful in alleviating your depression/anxiety but may rather worsen them. What you require is a thorough psychiatric evaluation and enhancement of your coping skills to manage your disease-related stress. Anti-anxiety/ antidepressant medication along with supportive psychotherapy might be useful in your case after a thorough evaluation.
