Depression can change or distort the way you see yourself, your life, and those around you.

People who have depression usually see everything with a more negative attitude, unable to imagine that any problem or situation can be solved in a positive way.

Symptoms of depression can include:

  • Agitation, restlessness, and irritability
  • Dramatic change in appetite, often with weight gain or loss
  • Very difficult to concentrate
  • Fatigue and lack of energy
  • Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness
  • Feelings of worthlessness, self-hate, and guilt
  • Becoming withdrawn or isolated
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyed
  • Thoughts of death or suicide
  • Trouble sleeping or excessive sleeping

Depression can appear as anger and discouragement, rather than feelings of sadness.

If depression is very severe, there may also be psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions.

The court does not take the results of the assessment into consideration in final sentencing.

    • Arizona MVD DUI Screening

    In 2000, approximately 6,000 blood and urine samples were analyzed for alcohol as a part of routine DUI (Driving Under the Influence) screening. However, only 50 percent of the samples were also analyzed for the presence of drugs. A complete drug analysis of all blood and urine specimens submitted for DUI investigation is necessary to implement a comprehensive prevention program. In order to obtain a clear, complete profile of those arrested for DUI, the presence of common prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and drugs of abuse/controlled substances must be identified. If given a DUI it is sometimes necessary to have an ignition interlock system that makes the car available to the driver. When an interlock system is installed the user must blow into the device everytime before starting the vehicle. A restricted licensing screening can be given to lessen the time of a suspended license and let the person drive to and from work.

    Some people have an alcohol or drug problem and a mental health problem. Doctors call this a dual diagnosis. You need to treat both problems to fully recover. Mental health problems that can happen with alcohol or drug abuse include depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and schizophrenia.

    Either problem may come first. If you have a mental health problem, you may use alcohol or drugs to try to feel better. Or a substance abuse problem may lead to mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or rage.

    People with mental health problems may use drugs and alcohol:

    * To feel normal. You may use drugs or alcohol because it helps you feel normal and accepted. It may make you feel like you don’t have a mental health problem or are not different from others.
    * To self-medicate. You may use drugs or alcohol to reduce anxiety, depression, sleep problems, tension, hallucinations (like hearing voices), and the side effects of medicines.

    Using drugs or alcohol when you have a mental health problem harms your health and your relationships. You may have more mental health symptoms, think about suicide, or need to stay in a hospital or other facility.

    Stonewall Institute is licensed by The State of Arizona, Department of Behavioral Health Services as an approved DUI service agency under ARS 28-692 and a behavioral health service agency, outpatient clinic.
