Alcoholism and Depression Often Coexist and Fuel One Another
<p>The first time I really became aware of the deep connection between alcoholism and depression was when my father first went into detox back in 2007. I watched him spiral into a person who could barely talk, barely function and clearly couldn’t make healthy decisions for his well-being. I knew he had suffered from depression for a long time, but seeing the seriousness of his alcohol use that seemed to ramp up alongside the depression was truly a scary experience for a daughter.</p>
<p>As a former mental health nurse, I knew that alcoholism and depression were hard to treat alone, never mind together. My education background informed me of that and I certainly saw it in practice, but witnessing it in a family member engendered the most powerless feeling I’ve ever felt.</p>
