Does your H ever have an anxiety or depression disorder diagnosed before and the weed and alcohol are self medicating and he knows it?
his last IC is the one who diagnosed him with adult ADHD, although he had been diagnosed with ADHD as a child. he's never been on medication that i know of.
his previous IC told him that drugs and alcohol were self-medicating behaviors and the first time we separated, my H laid off the weed and i think went for about 2 months without smoking at all. gradually, as we eased back into the routine of our lives, the smoking picked up and once again, is an every day occurance.
but yes, he's aware that he's self-medicating. i just don't know if he's doing anything about it this time around.
his previous IC took the stance that he wasn't going to tell my H not to smoke or drink, but that he saw the amount my H was consuming as self-medicating.
his previous IC never suggested any sort of other meds for the ADHD and impulse control...
