  • Depression and Alcohol..Chicken or the egg?

    Many of my patients began drinking at a young age because it seemed to help them with anxiety, depression and stress. In reality, alcohol never solves these problems on a permanent basis. How wonderful that you've taken the steps to attend AA meetings and have stopped drinking for six months! Zoloft is one of many different antidepressants that can help with your mood. However, I would suggest that you also see a therapist with whom you can engage in one-on-one talk therapy to truly understand the source of your depression. The medication can help with your brain chemistry, but talk therapy allows you to put your experience in words that allow you to develop positive coping skills. READ MORE
