How can alcohol help mask depression?

Although alcohol is a depressant, it is often used to self-medicate depression because it is also disinhibiting. It may temporarily free you from the agitation of depression, the relentless pain and self-criticism. Alcohol is often used in an attempt to self-medicate insomnia.

It may also serve as something like a general anesthetic in that it can simply numb you to your feelings and thoughts.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
