Probably not.
If you're depressed it's easy to get in the habit of drowning your sorrows in either alcohol or overworking. Addiction is more common among depressed people.
Alcohol can also have adverse effects on people taking medication for depression.

Generally speaking, no. Alcohol is itself a depressant. Being depressed and then taking a depressant on top of it is not a very good idea, and could deepen the depression, even after the alcohol leaves the system. This is something you should talk about with a mental health professional, or your family doctor.

Alcohol is a depressant, so absolutely everyone with melancholy ought to take severe warning while eating. a lager or glass of wine right here or there (specific activities, one on the weekend at the same time as BBQing) in all danger could be all top; eating somewhat a lot of alcohol or eating generally could make even minor melancholy worse. If a guy or woman with melancholy takes drugs, those drugs can react with the alcohol, inflicting greater beneficial sedation and larger impairment.

Nope. Alcohol can actually cause depression. It definitely depresses the central nervous system, which is why you should not use alcohol while taking any other meds.

No alcohol is a depressant in itself. You'd feel worse.
