Can Quitting Drinking Cause Depression?


Listen Later

The REAL reason for feeling some depression or symptoms of depression when you quit drinking alcohol.

And one of these may be something you’ve never heard of.

If you’ve ever used alcohol to deal with feelings of depression, you may have found that after your buzz wears off, you feel even lower than before.

It’s a chicken and egg situation – which came first?

Were you struggling because you were drinking, or were you drinking because you were struggling?

Well, both can be true.

Drinking can increase depression – but depression is also linked to heavier alcohol use.

There are a few things to be aware of to make sense of what you may be feeling and, more importantly, help you cope and have the understanding that it is fixable.
