Patient's question:
Does alcoholism lead to mental disorders?Doctor's answer:
When alcohol poisoning occurs, it can lead to the recurrence of mental disorders. The most common scenario encountered in clinical diagnosis is the recurrence of alcoholic encephalopathy caused by chronic alcoholism. Additionally, many patients may experience alcohol withdrawal symptoms after a brief period of abstinence due to long-term alcohol abuse. At this time, emotional changes may recur. For example, patients may exhibit irritability, anger, and a tendency to attack others.
