In Some Cases,patients Will Use Drugs or Alcohol to Treat

In some cases,patients will use drugs or alcohol to treat the disturbing symptoms of a psychiatric disease.This scenario presents a problem,because the potential exists to:

A) Cause a mixed-drug reaction, which may heighten the effects of both drugs.
B) Decrease psychiatric symptoms, which makes the psychiatric condition harder to treat.
C) Cause an accidental overdose by mixing alcohol with anxiolytic medications, antipsychotic medications, or antidepressant agents.
D) Cause an increase in psychiatric symptoms, because the psychiatric drugs become less effective in the presence of alcohol.
