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? Behind the walls of the mind
lies a fountain of physical illnesses.
