A Conceptual Review On Stress and Anxiety among Alcohol Use Disorder

Author(s) Ms. Kanishka JK, Dr. A. Seethalakshmy
Country India
Abstract Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is closely associated with heightened levels of stress and anxiety, creating a complex reciprocal relationship that influences the onset, persistence, and relapses of harmful drinking behaviour. This review discusses the psychological, neurobiological, and environmental factors that link stress, anxiety, and AUD. By applying contemporary theoretical frameworks such as the self-medication hypothesis, stress-response dysregulation, and affectregulation models, the review highlights how ongoing stress and anxiety increase the likelihood of alcohol misuse, while alcohol dependence exacerbates emotional dysregulation. Key factors such as poor coping mechanisms, diminished executive functioning, past trauma, and alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are explored to demonstrate how stress and anxiety can reinforce addictive behaviours. Additionally, the review considers gender differences, sociocultural influences, and the role of co-occurring mental health disorders in shaping these experiences. Understanding this interplay provides essential insights for prevention, early intervention, and the development of integrated treatment approaches that address both emotional distress and addictive behaviours.
