=__//** Depression and Recreational Drugs **//__=

Depression is often very-closely linked to recreational drug use, either in its cause or as part of a reaction to the depression by the individual.

Individuals who are depressed may often turn to substances such as alcohol, in order to "drown-out" the symptoms of depression. In reality, alcohol is considered a "depressant", and despite what is commonly believed, use of alcohol actually depresses your central nervous system.

In this day and age, depression and recreational drug use are both very common practices among individuals, especially the younger generation.

Recreational drugs which cause a "withdrawal" effect when the drug is stopped, can sometimes lead to the development of depressive symptoms, sometimes a prolonged case of full-on depression, which is very serious.

Another avenue of concern is the financial strain that can be caused by heavy drug use. Drugs aren't cheap, and the loss of finances and stress of wondering where your next fix is going to come from, can lead to depression and depressive thoughts. After all, finances are usually one of the biggest factors contributing to most depression cases.
