Alcohol-Induced Dementia | The ever increasing condition that's affecting our Seniors

      Alcohol-Induced Dementia 

Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or other cognitive impairments can pose major health risks for seniors. Many are not aware that extensive alcohol use can actually increase one’s risk of developing one of these conditions. Doctors use the term “alcohol-related dementia,” or “alcohol-induced dementia” to describe those with these conditions. Treating those with these conditions can be more complicated and difficult to manage. It can be important to plan ahead and work with professionals early on in the process to manage the conditions the best way possible. It’s also an increasingly common form of dementia based study published in JAMA Psychiatry.
