Yes, abusing drugs of other classes can cause depression too.
Who ever argued it didn't?
It also relieves those symptoms despite being abused.
I literally emphasised how anecdotal experiences aren't evidence enough, which is WHY I LINKED ACTUAL PEER REVIEWED DATA.
And you're wrong. First off, research the difference between the terms "addiction" and "dependence", and then read the science I just linked in my previous reply.
You're willfully ignorant, pretending you understand a subject you're barely conversant in. (Why do people feel the need to do this online?)
I used the analogy, because it's literally how the depression causing part of downers caused psychological depression; by long-term CNS depression.
That's why alcoholism is so strongly linked to depression. Just like benzo abuse and opioid abuse, but unlike meth, speed and other stims, which tend to cause mania.
(I feel like I'm repeating myself here. Probably because I am, and you just keep ignoring the actual science, because it proves you wrong and you're not man enough to admit to having not understood something perfectly.)
