What mental disorder is most commonly self diagnosed with alcohol?

---

Some people are drawn to alcohol for natural reasons. Many are drawn to alcohol, almost naturally because it is medicinal to them. In cases people can both, think better and increase mental capabilities under the influence of alcohol. For example someone that has social anxiety can further succeed in social situations and feel more "normal" under the influence of alcohol, which can cause them to easily be drawn to it as an attempt to self diagnose. Many people legitimately feel they can function better under the influence of alcohol because of something it provides them. Something that achieves their brain's satisfaction in aiding a natural abnormality or disorder. But, what disorder or abnormality is most common in attempting to self diagnose by comsuming alcohol?
I believe the diagnoses for this would be "Alcoholism." People that drink to make themselves feel socially accepted, smarter or attractive, ususally have the disease called Alcoholism. "Normal"(non-problem drinkers) people do not need alcohol to feel the above.

For more information I would suggest going to Google and typing in Alcoholism to get more information.  (+ info)

Is there a disorder where you act drunk before the alcohol has time to dissolve?

---

I was reading somewhere about a disease where people would start acting drunk very shortly after consuming alcohol, when it physically wouldn't be affecting them yet. Then, later in the night, they think they are much less drunk then they really are.
Any insight as to whether this disorder really exists or if it has a name?
Probably some kind of placebo effect... they mentally think they've consumed alcohol, so they should start feeling it - before it's even metabolized in their system.  (+ info)

Do doctors prescribe alcohol for social anxiety disorder?

---

My friend told me that a lot of doctors have started prescribing alcohol to treat social anxiety disorder. He says he has a prescription for bacardi rum and that is why he is always drinking it. Is this true or is he pulling my leg?
I don't think your friend is telling the truth.

I never heard of a doctor prescribing alcohol for anxiety.

It's probably a joke.  (+ info)

is it true I can shake off bipolar disorder drinking more alcohol?

---

is alcohol good for this disease?
how much should I drink a day?
and what kind?
No you cannot "shake off' bipolar affective disorder by drinking alcohol. Where did you here this? You should drink no more than 2 standard drinks a day, the same as for any other person. But you should check to see if alcohol has any adverse effects on any medications you may be taking for your bipolar. You should never really binge drink, but none of us should! Alcohol is not bad for the DISORDER (not a disease), if you are sensible. There is no cure for bipolar but many people lead great lives with minimal medication and simple lifestyle changes. Good luck and i hope this helps,

I actually believe that alcohol is Not supposed to be mixed with paxil (an ssri/selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), an antidepressant, or a medication for seizure disorder. Please do check with your pharmacist and don't go by us wonderful people here ;) You're right to question that as one can have serious consequences if mixing alcohol and prescription medication or certain medications, in general.  (+ info)

So I have multicystic kidney disorder since birth and it affects one kidney which is completely useless. So what I want to know is whether consuming alcohol affects me worse than if I had two functioning kidneys?
