Patient's question:
The object had been using drugs for years and wouldn't listen even when persuaded. Several times, he clearly had stopped drinking, but sometimes he would suddenly have seizures, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing all over. I was terrified when I saw it. Why would someone who had been using drugs for years have such reactions after quitting? Why do seizures reappear every time he stops drinking?Doctor's answer:
When this situation occurs again, consider two issues. One is withdrawal syndrome, which often manifests more frequently after long-term drinking and sudden cessation. It can lead to recurrent tics and mental disorders. The other is hysteria. For instance, if there are no organic problems, these are all psychogenic. You can take him to the neurology department for a check-up.
