研究显示,酒精与有抑郁症和没有抑郁症的人有着相似的快感,对自医自药观点提出了挑战。 Study shows alcohol gives similar pleasure to those with and without depression, challenging self-medication views.

一个新的芝加哥大学医学研究 挑战了一种信念 即酒精的快乐效应随着成瘾而减少。 A new University of Chicago Medicine study challenges the belief that alcohol's pleasurable effects diminish with addiction. 研究人员发现,酗酒紊乱和抑郁症患者的酒精刺激和快感程度与无抑郁症患者相似。 Researchers found that individuals with alcohol use disorder and depression experience similar levels of stimulation and pleasure from alcohol as those without depression. 这与过度饮酒主要是一种自用药物的观点相矛盾。 This contradicts the idea that excessive drinking is primarily a form of self-medication. 研究表明,治疗应更加注重酒精的有益方面,而较少注重与压力有关的因素。 The study suggests that treatments should focus more on the rewarding aspects of alcohol and less on stress-related factors.
