How many of us
try to self-medicate ourselves. We might do it with alcohol; we might do it
with drugs; we may do it with over-the-counter medications; we may do it with
caffeine. All sorts of things are used to self-medicate. What you have to look
at is what problem are you dealing with, and how are you trying to handle it?
Self-medication is not a bad thing if you’re taking a cough medicine for a
cold. But if you’re trying to grapple with something that’s beyond your skill,
you need to get help. That’s why it’s important to see a doctor and get that
advice.
