A Woman Exhibits Symptoms Of Depression And Alcohol Abuse And Schedules An Appointment To See Her Doctor Cindy was a forty-five-year-old physical therapist who knew that she had a problem with her drinking. For instance, within the past month she has experienced the need to have quite a few drinks before going to work, a week ago she failed to pass a random saliva alcohol test where she works, four months ago she got stopped by the police for "driving under the influence", and lastly, for nearly six months she has started to forget what she does and says when she goes out drinking with her friends. Similar to many other drinkers, Cindy's alcohol involvement began gradually and continued at this level of involvement for quite a long period of time because sometimes she engaged in occasional social drinking. In actual fact, for around eight months, every time she went out with her buddies to drink, she made sure to drink in moderation. Something about her drinking, nonetheless, seemed to drastically change when she got divorced from her husband. Cindy got very dejected about the breakup with her husband, and as a way to abstain from fixating on her negative feelings she arrived at a decision that she would begin associating more often with some of her buddies who love to party. It didn't take too long, nonetheless, before her drinking increased considerably the more habitually she went to and drank at dinner dates, private parties, family get-togethers, sporting events, and happy hours with her friends. In a word, she was having fun drinking just like everyone else in her group of buddies without much forethought about the alcohol short term effects and especially about the alcohol long term effects she has been going though. Yet somewhere in the recesses of her mind she realized the facts about the negative alcohol effects on the body and on the brain and that she probably needed alcohol rehabilitation but stayed away from the thought as much as possible. One morning during her twelve month physical examination, her doctor asked her if she drank alcohol. Not wanting to lie to her physician, Cindy admitted that she regularly drinks more than she should. As a matter of fact, she stated that she regularly drinks in an abusive and irresponsible manner. Then Cindy informed her doctor about her melancholy. More precisely, she mentioned that ruined relationships frequently triggered a disheartening chain of events characterized by increased drinking which further resulted in more depressing feelings that, in turn, led to more drinking. And this is exactly what took place when her husband and she got divorced two years ago. Cindy's physician then said the following: "I am not trying to make an unprepared judgment, but with your medical situation we may be facing two separate issues. As a consequence, I think we probably need to make an appointment for you to get an alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency appraisal from my partner, Dr. Verlich, who is a drug and alcohol abuse specialist." "Whether your drinking circumstance is more associated with alcohol abuse or alcoholism is not clear at this time, but I feel that further exploration is reasonable. Then I feel we should make an appointment for you to get a psychological examination from another one of my partners, Dr. Cohen, who is a psychologist." "I need to get some more insights about your depression and see how much your drinking and depression are interlinked." Cindy displayed her satisfaction with her physician's strategy and thanked him for his help.
