Abstract: There is a growing concern about mental health in today’s consciousness. Although discourse about mental health has increased in recent times, depression is still a rampant problem. Mental health problems are deeply intertwined with harmful lifestyle choices, including binge drinking. Understanding the association between alcoholic symptoms and the presence of depression is key to adjusting treatment for both depression and alcoholism. The goals of this analysis include 1) develop the relationship between depression and alcoholism and 2) understand how depression and alcoholism are related based on sex and on increasing age.
