Tip of the Day
“Alcohol
use disorder and
depression are two conditions that often occur together. What’s
more, one can make the other worse in a cycle that’s pervasive and
problematic if not addressed and treated.
“Alcohol use can cause or worsen symptoms of mood disorders. Depression may even cause people to begin consuming large amounts of alcohol.
“The good news is that treating both alcohol misuse and depression can make both conditions better. As one improves, symptoms of the other may improve, too.
“It isn’t, however, a quick and easy process. It’s often a lifelong commitment, but one that can improve your life, health, and well-being in the long term.”
