Specializes in Addiction Medicine

See your doctor : You need to be evaluated for a possible drinking problem and possibly depression. See your doctor for an assessment. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and can make you feel depressed. You need to stop drinking in order to get rid of the depression.
