Depression And Alcoholism
Disease is the most common aspect between depression and alcoholism. Although depression and alcoholism is considered to be from an individual’s standpoint, these diseases can cause an individual from not contributing to society. Society can be compare to a bicycle, whereas each individual can be compare to a link from the bicycle chain, and the bicycle needs the chain to keep moving forward. However, if the bicycle chain is damaged from wear and tear (depression and alcoholism), then the bicycle will lose its purpose for what it was created to do in the first place. “Men and women with heavy drinking occasions reported more depressive symptoms, they were younger, they consumed on average significantly more alcohol, they were less frequently
married/cohabiting, and more often unemployed than respondents without heavy drinking occasions,” (Mannienen, et al: 296). Without getting the right treatment, the workplace and home can be a toxic environment, which leads to more problems. Having a source of financial income is crucial in today’s society, which is why employment is an obligation, therefore an individual must not do anything to jeopardize their job. If an individual’s job is in jeopardy, then their living situation at home will most often be in jeopardy as well. Alcoholism is when an individual has a nonstop desire to consume alcohol, and will look for alcohol as an excuse when times get hard. Hard time can be results from a stressful work environment, which would often lead workers to seeks pleasure. “Overall, our results indicate that men working in occupations with high physical demands also report a high number of heavy drinking occasions,” (Barnes & Zimmerman). There are situations where men have a lot of pressure to perform at a high level at their work place, if they are the provider for their family, which leads to finding ways of relieving the stress. Men can easily buy alcohol at a local convenience store, if that individual is of legal age, whenever there a need to escape their problems. However, the effects of alcohol are only temporary, and may lead to over drinking. There are multiple characteristics from the result of alcohol, such as a “happy drunk” or a “violent drunk,” which will cause many problems in the workplace. “A sample of 489 employed men between 32 and 36 years old responded to questions concerning rates of having engaged in workplace aggression and conflict,” (Jockin el at., 2001). The results of aggression and conflict in the work place, due to the effects of alcohol, upper management will have no choice but to terminate that employee. Research had shown the average age of the study was 34 years old, and are more likely to act aggression in the workplace while under the influence, (Jockin el at., 2001).
