Alcohol and Drug Abuse in Mental Health
Alcohol abuse is overrated, while drug abuse is underrated. The
DSM manual suggests that substance abuse there are differences
in the definition of drug and alcohol use. To confuse matters
worse the law has its own version of who is an alcoholic or drug
addict. Some of the symptoms that help professionals determine
if alcohol and drugs are a problem include, excessive
drinking/drugging, problems with the law, withdrawal symptoms,
shaking of the hands, and so forth. If a person drinks everyday
of the week and relies on alcohol, then you are probably dealing
with an alcoholic.
There are philosophers who claim if a person needs a drink at
breakfast, that he or she is an alcohol. Some philosophers claim
that if you drink more than six-pack weeks then you are an
alcoholic. The fact is, most of the people nagging or evaluating
alcohol and drugs has a problem them self or has gotten help
someone in their lifetime to treat their own problems.
Therefore, as you can see addictions, dependant alcoholics, and
other types of alcoholics and drug addicts may alter. First all,
any chemical that causes harm is a potential danger to your
being.
In other words if you start out drinking when you are fourteen
and continue through your lifetime without alcohol causing you
trouble, or else landing you a spot in jail, then you are
probably not an alcoholic according to few. The fact is the ones
that are drinking and driving and getting caught are alcoholics
according to the system although the level of alcohol in the
blood plays a role in the determination.
The truth is the law sometimes over dramatizes and the system is
out to make all the money they can, so we all might be
alcoholics by the time they are done with us. Alcoholism and
drug addictions are complex, in the sense there are too many
misconstrued inputs and often the label is placed on individuals
according to culture and history. If you parents drank alcohol
then the system sometimes will claim you as an alcoholic. The
fact is, Jesus drink wine in moderation, so drinking in
moderation is not a bad thing. The problem
becomes a problem
when the person has difficulty putting down the bottle and/or
increases their intake as well as combining drugs with the
alcohol to get an affect they was had. If someone will steal or
lie to get alcohol or drugs then you know they have a real
problem. However, most alcoholics and drug addicts have bigger
problems than addictions and this is often ignored.
For example, people with mental illnesses often resort to
alcohol and/or drugs to find relief of their symptoms. Now if a
professional is treating this person for his or her diagnose and
progress is moving along the person often feels healthy and the
alcohol and drugs are out the door. In my studies and opinions,
I disagree with alcoholism and drug addictions if the person is
able to stop once the mental illness is treated. This means that
the person was suffering and the substances was a mechanism to
help them cope. On the other hand, if the person is treated for
mental illnesses and his or her drug and alcohol habits
continue, then I think you had better get out the chair and
start talking 'one day at a time.' Alcohol was once known as the
"Devils Drink." The White men are the originator of the source,
and since its beginning it has caused serious complications,
including death, abuse, and other related crimes. Drugs are
optional since the system often makes them available by teaching
individuals what the drugs contain.
The root of all-evil is money, and if a person sees that he or
she can gain, they may take advantage, but fall into a snare in
between. The system is overwrought, since they put alcoholics
and drugs addicts in jail and not seeking help for them. The
solution to humankind's problem is helping and not hurting or
promoting. If we can't get along now, what makes you think you
are going to heaven?
