Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol : dependence syndrome - what does this mean
Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol, also known as dependence syndrome, occur when a person has a physical and psychological dependence on alcohol. this dependence can manifest itself in a variety of ways, including increased tolerance to alcohol, withdrawal symptoms if the person stops drinking, and difficulty controlling the amount of alcohol consumed.
What happens during the disease - mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol : dependence syndrome
The pathogenesis of mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol: dependence syndrome is a complex process that involves changes in the brain's reward system. this process begins with the consumption of alcohol, which triggers the release of dopamine in the brain. this dopamine release creates a feeling of pleasure, leading to an increase in alcohol consumption. over time, the brain becomes accustomed to the presence of alcohol and begins to rely on it for pleasure. as dependence develops, the brain's reward system is altered, leading to changes in behaviour, mood, and cognition. these changes can lead to a range of mental and behavioural disorders, including anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment.
