According to figures recently released by SAMHSA from the 2004-2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), men outpace women in all categories of excessive drinking. Men are still twice as likely as women (10.5 percent versus 5.1 percent) to meet criteria for alcohol abuse and addiction as defined by the DSM-IV. |

It is unfortunate that the issues involved in treatment goals for alcoholics often seem to have been argued in terms of simplistic assertions. The dogmatic assertion that no alcoholic can control his or her drinking precludes the possibility that spontaneous remissions may occur in alcoholism as they do in other diseases. Moreover, the assertion ignores the many formal and informal observations of periods of moderate alcohol consumption that occur routinely in the lives of persons considered to be alcoholic. An equally simplistic assertion is the statement that some (number of) alcoholics can control their drinking. |

It's long been known that experiencing control over a stressor immunizes a rat from developing a depression-like syndrome when it later encounters stressors that it can't control. Now, scientists funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have unraveled the workings of the brain circuitry that inoculates against such hard knocks - the circuitry of resilience. |
