[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding depression and substance abuse, it's true that many people self medicate to cope with depression. However, the reverse is also common. Alcohol, for example, causes changes in the brain that can actually cause depression. It works both ways.[/quote]

True. Even if you are not "addicted" to alcohol it can change you, your behavior, and the people around you. You can still ruin your life with alcohol even if you are not an alcoholic. Robin Williams was an addict and struggled with depression. But he also caused a lot of pain for others along the way. Cheating, spreading sexually transmitted diseases, drinking and drugs. I am sure his first wife was in a lot of pain when he gave the waitress herpes and got his nanny pregnant. His years of alcohol abuse were probably difficult for his kids. And now his children are left with the pain of his suicide. It is sad that he killed himself but it is even sadder all the pain he caused others. I have a close family member who is an alcoholic and they have brought nothing but pain to our family and to themselves. This disease is self destructing for not only the suicidal depressed person but also for all the family members who are caught in their web of self destruction. So sad for everyone.[/quote]
