If you can recognize that you have both depression and alcoholism then you better avail yourself of every resource. My doctor was stunned when I sat there and said "I drink too much". I am a perfect health kinda guy. I've been to emergency and urgent care for first aid and had doctors tell me no one is this healthy. They examine me and find me true.
You get every bit of help you can find. My doctor's prescription of AD's have helped me immensely.
