Today we are talking about alcohol dependence rather than alcoholism. But it is still a problem that affects many people - regardless of gender, age, class or occupational group. Today, we estimate that about 300,000 Swedes are alcohol dependent. A widespread problem Alcoholism is rarely used as a term nowadays as there is something valuable and too definite in that term. It brings to mind a group of socially excluded people who have "drunk everything". Instead, we talk about alcohol dependence. The real term from a diagnostic perspective today is alcohol syndrome, but alcohol dependence is used the most. There are about one million Swedes with a problematic consumption of alcohol. Of these, it is estimated that about 300,000 are alcohol dependent. In fact, the boundary between these groups is weak and uncertain. What determines the seriousness of a person's alcohol consumption is precisely that person's basic preconditions and motives for drinking. DSM V, which is a manual for professional diagnosis of, for example, alcohol dependence, believes that the more symptoms you meet, the more serious the alcohol dependence. It is a way of determining the level of the problem. Who gets addicted? A person with an alcohol addiction can be anyone. What social class you come from, what profession, gender or age you have does not matter. What we do know is that heredity and environment, together with biological and psychological factors, can increase the vulnerability to developing alcohol dependence. Once alcohol dependence is linked, you have no benefits in your social status or history. An alcohol addict is simply someone who is unable to handle alcohol in a way that most others do. The consequences are greater and what you are really looking for in alcohol is something that alcohol cannot provide. Alcohol has more or less taken over the role of closest confidant, while family, friends, employers and others are left behind. This creates a problem that you need the right help with. It is possible to break and create change.
