Psych class case study. I NEED HELP PLEASE?


she has THREE disorders. 28 year old female, her mother is a member of AA. Her younger sister is mentally retarded because of fetal alcohol syndrome. Her parents, aunts, uncles, & grandfathers on both sides are alcoholics. No history of mental illness. She began drinking heavily at 19. She thought she drank too much but compared to her fiance, mother, & father, she felt she didn't have a problem. At 22, she stopped drinking for 1 year after she found out she was pregnant. Her mother left her father. After her daughter was born, she felt pressured to drink with her husband again. She soon found herself having a drink before coming home from work, consuming several cocktails with her husband in the evening...having 5-10 drinks per day during the week, 15 drinks per day on the weekend. She developed gastritis. Her doctor strongly advised to her stop drinking but she continued to drink. She hides her drinking from her boss but does it at home because it's tolerated by her alcoholic husband
