In reality each person may present with different types of behaviour.Most alcoholics have depression or mood disorders as the forerunner of alcoholism,but so can a offender or a compulsive gambler,or a man with uncontrollable violent impulses.Mood disorders cover a very wide range of behaviour and they have fewer elements in common than meets the eye.
Actually,an axillary temperature will typically read about one-half to one degree lower than an oral temperature and a rectal temperature will typically read a degree higher than an oral temperature.Tympanic temperature is about equivalent to oral temperature.Axillary temperature is the least reliable from an accuracy standpoint and in order to obtain the actual reading, the armpit should be dry and the person free from any activity or exercise for at least 20 minutes or so.Oral temperatures can be affected by taking in liquids within the period proximal to testing the temperature.
