The damages are caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1), direct injury on the nerve cells by alcohol, and skull injuries caused by falling over, as well as bad dietary habits.
Symptoms of alcohol-induced dementia are similar to Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and FTD. Common symptoms are numbing, changes in personality, and listlessness. This is because the frontal lobe is usually affected and that’s where these functions are located.
Alcohol-induced dementia can, compared to other neurodegenerative diseases, be halted and improved by refraining from alcohol, eat vitamins and lead a healthy life with healthy foods.
