A Woman Manifest Symptoms Of Depression And Alcoholism And Makes An Appointment To See Her Doctor

Cindy was a forty-five-year-old pharmacy technician who knew that she had some drinking issues. For instance, within the past two months she has experienced the need to have a few drinks before going to work, two weeks ago she failed a random saliva alcohol test where she is employed, two weeks ago she got arrested by the state highway patrol for "driving under the influence", and lastly, for going on three months she has started to forget what she does and says when she goes out drinking with her pals.

Not unlike multitudes of other drinkers, Cindy's alcohol involvement began at a "snail's pace" and continued at this level for quite a long period of time because from time to time she engaged in sporadic social drinking. In fact, for approximately seven months, every time she went out to drink, she made sure to drink in moderation. Something about her drinking activities, nonetheless, seemed to drastically change when she divorced her husband.

Cindy got especially depressed about the breakup with her husband, and as a way to abstain from obsessing about her negative feelings she arrived at a decision that she would begin palling around more routinely with some of her buddies who love to drink. It didn't take very long, however, before her drinking increased substantially the more habitually she went to and drank at sporting events, happy hours, private parties, dinner dates, and family get-togethers with her pals.

To put it briefly, she was partying just like everyone else in her group of pals without giving too much consideration 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 mind and that she more likely than not needed alcohol rehabilitation but sidestepped the thought as much as possible.

One morning during her twelve month physical examination, her physician asked her if she drank alcohol. Not wanting to tell falsehoods to her doctor, Cindy acknowledged that she regularly drinks more than she should. In actual fact, she stated that she regularly drinks in an abusive and irresponsible manner. Then Cindy informed her physician about her depression. More to the point, she mentioned that ruined relationships usually triggered a depressing chain of events characterized by increased drinking which further resulted in more disheartening feelings that, in turn, resulted in more drinking. And this is exactly what took place when she and her husband got divorced three years ago.

Cindy's physician then said the following: "I am not trying to make an unprofessional diagnosis, but with your medical condition we may be dealing with two separate issues. Consequently, I think we need to make an appointment for you to get an alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction appraisal from my partner, Dr. Bakos, who is a drug and alcohol addiction specialist."

"Whether your drinking condition is more related to alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction is unclear at this time, but I think that further exploration is justifiable. Then I feel we probably should make an appointment for you to get a psychological evaluation from another one of my partners, Dr. Manning, who is a psychologist."

"I need to get a better read on your depression and see how much your drinking and depression are interlinked." Cindy displayed her approval of her healthcare practitioner's "game plan" and thanked him for his assistance.
