Effect of alcohol on brain

 Alcohol and depression.




  • How does alcohol affect the brain? Tolerance Alcohol's effect on the brain is similar to that of many other addictive substances, such as sedatives. If alcohol is consumed regularly, its effect diminishes over time and the amount must be increased to achieve the desired effect. This process is called 'tolerance' and plays an important role in becoming addicted to alcohol. Alcohol can also cause the following problems: Dementia: memory loss similar to Alzheimer's dementia Sudden withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, nervous tension, and sometimes seeing things that aren't really there start to appear. Suicide: Forty percent of men who attempt suicide are long-term alcoholics. Seventy percent of people who commit suicide have consumed alcohol before committing suicide.

  • What is the relationship between depression and alcohol?

  •  Self-harm and suicide are more common in people who drink more alcohol. This process takes place in two ways: · If too much alcohol is consumed regularly, such a person is likely to develop depression. Regular alcohol consumption causes exhaustion and depression. There is evidence that alcohol causes changes in brain chemistry that increase the risk of depression. When a person wakes up in the morning after drinking too much alcohol, he feels sluggish, anxious, agitated, and remorseful when he wakes up. People who are addicted to alcohol may develop depression, quarrel with family members, poor performance at work, poor memory and sexual problems. · Drinking alcohol to reduce anxiety and depression can exacerbate depression. Alcohol helps to forget problems for a while. It can also help calm and eliminate jitters. Drinking alcohol makes conversation easier and more interesting at a bar, club or party. This makes people feel better for a few hours. If you suffer from depression or lack of energy, you may turn to alcohol to cope with life's problems and move on. Anyone can easily fall into this habit and use alcohol as a medicine. However, the benefits of alcohol wear off quickly, the habit of drinking alcohol becomes part of the routine and the amount of alcohol has to be increased every so often to achieve pleasurable effects.

  • How much alcohol is too much?

  •  Some types of alcohol are stronger. The easiest way to know how much to drink is to count the "units" of alcohol. One unit is equal to ten grams of alcohol, a unit equal to a standard measure used in a brewery, such as half a pint of normal beer or a small or large glass of wine. If a man of the same weight and drinks the same amount of alcohol, the amount of alcohol in the body of the woman will be higher than that of the man. For women, the threshold after which the risk of physical illness begins to increase is fourteen units per week, while for men it is twenty-one units per week.

  • What should one do if one is becoming addicted to drinking excessive amounts of alcohol?

  •  Set a specific limit to reduce your daily alcohol consumption. Avoid situations where you are at high risk of drinking alcohol (review the diary). Think of activities you can do as an alternative to drinking alcohol. Consult your spouse or friends. They can help you choose a target and achieve it. It is a fact that many people are able to reduce the amount of alcohol they drink after consulting their family doctor. Some people can stop drinking alcohol immediately without help, while others experience withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, body tremors, and anxiety. If so, your psychiatrist can help you.

  • Alcohol withdrawal and depression.

  •  

There is evidence that many heavy drinkers become depressed while drinking, but feel better within a few weeks of quitting. Therefore, it is best to focus on quitting alcohol first and then seek treatment if the depression does not go away after a few weeks of quitting. After a few weeks of quitting alcohol, you will feel fit and relatively less depressed. Friends and family members will find it easier to communicate with you. If the feeling of depression goes away, it may mean that it was related to drinking alcohol. If you are still depressed after four weeks of quitting alcohol, contact your psychiatrist for further help. Talking about your feelings can be beneficial, especially if your depression is related to family problems, unemployment, divorce, the trauma of the death of a loved one, or other losses. Counseling can be helpful in this regard. If depression is severe and persistent, your psychiatrist may recommend 'cognitive psychotherapy' or antidepressant medication. In both of these situations, you will have to stay away from alcohol and your treatment will last for several months. A number of medications are available to reduce alcohol cravings, but these can only be prescribed by a psychiatrist. Treatments for both alcohol problems and depression can be very successful. It can be helpful to meet regularly with someone you trust, whether that's your doctor, a counselor or a specialist psychiatrist. Changing habits or lifestyles is a challenge and takes time to achieve.
