Sure! Though I drink basically not at all when I’m not in a depressive episode. It’s more of a subconscious “self medication” thing, and the symptoms don’t subside even if I’m not drinking sadly.

Seems like a stimulant might be a more logical self medication for depression than a depressant.

A Central Nervous System Depressant and Clinical Depression are two (basically) unrelated concepts. Alcohol is the former. Despite having the same word in them, they are only tangentially related to one another
