Depression, Mood Swings, Overwhelming Anxiety
Mental Health problems and addiction occur together. It needs to be treated at the same time. All symptoms such as anxiety, anger, irritability, fear, insomnia, depression, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, anxiety attacks, shortness of breath, sweating, cravings, using cocaine, diarrhea, shakes, muscle spasms, stomach upset, ulcers, high blood pressure, not sleeping, all to deal with the stress of coping with that high-powered job. All of these are signs that things are not OK. Cravings are automatic and won't go away if a person stops Using or drinking. The person can't stop because the brain is out of balance. Once this happens it continues to seek something to sooth it to balance it... teetering on the edge it becomes worse until either they drink or use or find someone to help balance the brain. Research is showing now how to treat these issues by balancing the brain, with treatment from qualified medical professionals. Research also shows that balancing can occur from a focus on learning specific skills to cope with stressors of your fast-paced life. Learning is maximized by being with other people who are also learning and providing connection and support to one another.
