Lesson Overview

13.28 – Depression and Substance Use: Many people turn to alcohol or drugs to escape the weight of depression, hoping to feel numb or energized for a short time. While it may bring brief relief, it often deepens sadness and damages health. Substance use disrupts brain chemistry further, worsening mood swings and hopelessness. Over time, it creates dependency that traps people in a painful cycle. Understanding this link helps people replace judgment with empathy. The goal is not shame but recovery—learning healthier ways to soothe pain. Therapy, support groups, and medical care can help treat both depression and addiction together. Sobriety brings clarity and energy back, revealing emotions that can finally heal. Healing from both requires patience and honest support systems that don’t punish but uplift. The journey may be long, but every sober day is proof that freedom is possible.
