Mental Health Foundation: Alcohol and Depression

It’s important to be aware of how alcohol affects your mental health, particularly if you have a mental health problem. ❓

People drink for many reasons – from celebrating to commiserating, relaxing, to feeling more confident.

And while the short-term effects might deliver – this quickly wears off.

The chemical changes in your brain caused by alcohol can soon lead to negative feelings, including depression, anxiety and anger. 🧠

And for those already struggling with depression, it can make those symptoms worse.
