How To Overcome Codependency In Addiction Recovery

How Depression & Addiction Are Linked ​

While many individuals struggle with dual diagnoses, no two cases are the same. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 4.7% of Americans 18 and older experience regular depressive symptoms. The World Health Organization estimates that 264 million people worldwide struggle with depressive symptoms.

This number illustrates the common struggle despite various backgrounds, cultures, and ways of living. Despite its prevalence, there is still a negative social stigma associated with mental illnesses such as depression. Depression can be viewed as a weakness, leading to individuals keeping their struggles private. As a result, they continue to struggle in isolation compared to getting help for their symptoms.

It is not uncommon for individuals who struggle with depression to use alcohol and drugs to cope with their symptoms. When it comes to depression symptoms, alcohol can make us feel better at the moment; however, it actually has the opposite effect because alcohol itself is a depressant. So, when we stop drinking, we may feel more depressed than we did initially.

Alcohol and drugs can be used to self-medicate for mental health struggles. A concern with this is that when the person stops using, they may not have the coping skills to cope with their distress. This increases a person’s risk of relapsing in early recovery.

There are also individuals who have no history of depression and depressive symptoms until they develop an addiction. Depressive symptoms commonly occur during the withdrawal of different drugs and alcohol. In that situation, the symptoms are usually short-lived and resolve shortly after the person has finished withdrawing.

It is also possible that as a person’s addiction progresses, they begin experiencing depressive symptoms due to the natural consequences of addiction. For example, it is not uncommon for someone who is struggling with addiction to have a hard time functioning at work, maintaining healthy relationships, developing financial concerns, and having legal problems. For some, these changes can progress to depressive symptoms that can lead to more drug and alcohol use.

When to Get Help for Depression​

There are several Depressive Disorders that a person can be struggling with. The different disorders can have several similarities, so if you find yourself confused, know that a mental health professional would be able to walk you through your diagnosis in a way that you understand. Some of the Depressive Disorders we see are:

Disruptive Mood Dis-regulation Disorder

Major Depressive Disorder

Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

Substance/ Medication- Induced Depressive Disorder

What Is Depression?

When individuals talk about struggling with depression, they are usually referring to Major Depressive Disorder. With this illness, you are experiencing a depressed mood or a loss of interest in your usual activities. This may also feel like a loss of pleasure. In addition to that, you may have unexplained weight loss or gain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts about death or suicide.

Persistent Depressive Disorder is a diagnosis someone may receive after struggling with Major Depressive Disorder for two or more years. For some, this is a constant state of depression for years, for others, it may not be. Mental health concerns are rarely present in black and white, there are often shades of grey and even color.

If you are reading this and wondering if you should reach out for help, you should. Even if you relate to one of the symptoms above, what would your day look like if that was not a struggle? 

If you relate to more than one of the symptoms, think about the impact that they are having on your life. Do you find yourself isolating and skipping events with family and friends? Are you falling behind on work? Are you constantly feeling tired? With the proper treatment and support, it is possible that you can have some relief from these symptoms.

It is important to take a few moments to discuss having thoughts of suicide and death. Let us begin by saying that it is completely normal to have passing thoughts of death from time to time. We are human, and that’s a natural part of life. We begin to get concerned when these thoughts occur regularly and begin to shift to suicide and hurting ourselves. If you find yourself feeling hopeless, you could benefit from speaking to a professional.

If you have noticed that your thoughts about death have progressed to thinking about suicide, developing a realistic plan, or if you have attempted suicide, please contact a mental health professional. You can easily do this by calling 911 and letting the operator know what is going on with your thoughts.
