Suggest Treatment For Depression And Chronic Cough In An Alcohol Addict
I have been suffering from an undiagnosed chronic cough since roughly 2009. Things ruled out include whooping cough, cancer, asthma, bronchitis, mold, sarcoidosis. As a result, I began self medicating with alcohol and I confess I m a full blown alcoholic....with a chronic cough! Which has brought me to my current situation. I now suffer with depression. Please help me.

Hello. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to treat your depression and alcoholism before treating anything else. Anxiety and apprehension could be the reason why you are here. Talk to your psychiatrist.
