Concerned About Alcohol-Related Dementia?
Manage episode 415997773 series 3465931
Dive into a crucial episode where we explore Alcohol-Related Dementia (ARD) and Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS), conditions stemming from excessive alcohol use that affect memory, behavior, and cognitive function. Learn about the symptoms, age of onset, and confabulation, where individuals create false memories without intent. Discover how ARD differs from Alzheimer’s, including its potential for partial reversibility.
We also discuss the risk factors for alcohol-related dementia, the importance of thiamine in preventing WKS, and strategies for supporting affected individuals safely under medical guidance.
