Sounds like: Sounds like depression but this does not exclude anxiety also (both can be present at the same time). For an accurate diagnosis, excluding medical causes, you need to consult a psychiatrist for a complete evaluation. Some meds (like beta blockers) may play a role sometimes in causing or worsening a pre existing depression or anxiety; inform your prescribing dr of all of your symptoms. Good luck.

It can be : Either of the 2, which can be a part of a bigger picture. There is a big need to be able to find out what other feelings this person is going thru and why they are having these to get a better diagnosis and treatment. Reach out to your dr and see what kind of treatment can be given, as well as try to open up with someone you trust. Take care.

Mixture of both: It is mostly depression caused possibly by drinking alcohol but has elements of anxiety too that possibly initiate the drinking of alcohol.
