Extractions: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism No. 5 PH 270 August 1989 Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome The alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a cluster of symptoms observed in persons who stop drinking alcohol following continuous and heavy consumption. Milder forms of the syndrome include tremulousness, seizures, and hallucinations, typically occurring within 6-48 hours after the last drink. A more serious syndrome, delirium tremens (DTs), involves profound confusion, hallucinations, and severe autonomic nervous system overactivity, typically beginning between 48 and 96 hours after the last drink (Victor 1983). Estimates vary on the incidence of serious consequences of alcohol withdrawal. Regardless of actual incidence, recent evidence suggests that it may be important to treat everyone who is suffering from alcohol withdrawal. Clinical researchers have measured this overactivation in patients (Linnoila et al. 1987). Even patients with moderately severe alcohol withdrawal can experience sympathetic nervous system overactivity and increased production of the adrenal hormones cortisol and norepinephrine. Both of these hormones can be toxic to nerve cells. Moreover, cortisol can specifically damage neurons in the hippocampus (Sapolsky et al. 1986)a part of the brain that is thought to be particularly important for memory and control of affective states. Thus, repeated untreated alcohol withdrawals may lead to direct damage to the hippocampus.

Extractions: Full PDF (332 KB) Version Alcoholism Scores of people continue to reach for another drink even when they know that excess alcohol can harm their health, family life, and career. Fortunately science is now providing some ammunition to help battle serious alcohol problems. Discoveries surrounding the chemistry of alcohols addictive effects have translated into the recent availability of biology-based treatments that can help people stay sober. Additional studies indicate that even more treatment options will become available in the near future. Whether it's sipped from sleek stemware or a tin can, the alcohol in any type of cocktail, wine, beer, or hard liquor, for some people, is highly addictive. More than 17 million Americans already know this too well. They either abuse alcohol or have graduated to become alcoholics and have lost control of their drinking. Alcoholics have powerful cravings for the drug that typically overtake their ability to stop drinking on their own, even in the face of devastating consequences. Excess alcohol can ruin a person's health, family life, and career. Until recently, little could be done to help keep problem drinkers from consuming alcohol except for counseling programs, which can be costly and do not always work. Thanks, however, to discoveries on the chemistry of alcohol's effects, some biology-based treatments are now available and even more help is on the way. The research is leading to:

http://www.geocities.com/helplouie/index.html

Extractions: Depression and Alcoholism , A Lethal Mix Depression and alcohol dependence are two common disorders that frequently coexist. As a result, sorting out the various symptoms of each disorder and determining whether the symptoms of one are caused by the other often prove difficult. In turn, this uncertainty hampers decision making concerning treatment. In his review of current knowledge relating to this important issue, Dr Sawyer pointed out that progress is being made in understanding how these two disorders interact and that the data now available provide at least some basis for guiding treatment when alcoholism is the presenting disorder. Current research generally supports the notion that when a patient with mild to moderate depressive symptoms and no history of depression begins treatment of alcohol dependence, adoption of a posture of watchful waiting is a better approach than immediate antidepressant therapy. In many heavy drinkers, depressive symptoms relent within 1 to 3 weeks after abstinence has been established. This wait-and-see approach has the advantages of minimizing unneeded treatment of depression and giving the patient a clearer message that drinking is the major problem to be dealt with. It would be a mistake, however, to adopt this approach too rigidly, since many questions about its application remain unanswered.

Appendix - The Disease of Alcoholism The National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence defines alcoholism this way: "Alcoholism is a primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychological, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortion in thinking, most notably denial." Alcohol is the single most used and abused drug in America. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), nearly 14 million Americans (1 in every 13 adults) abuse alcohol or are alcoholics. Several million more adults engage in risky drinking patterns that could lead to alcohol problems. The costs to society in terms of lost productivity, health care costs, traffic accidents, and personal tragedies are staggering. Numerous studies and reports have been issued on the workplace costs of alcoholism and alcohol abuse, and they report costs that range from $33 billion to $68 billion per year. Alcohol is a major factor in injuries, both at home, at work, and on the road. Nearly half of all traffic fatalities involve alcohol. Please see the
