Consequences of alcoholic epilepsy

Alcoholic epilepsy is one of the types of epileptic psychosis. The cause of its occurrence lies in the abuse of alcohol. Consumption of alcoholic beverages can lead to chronic dependence, which, in turn, may cause the development of epileptic symptoms manifested by seizures. The aggravation of such attacks occurs under the influence of alcohol. However, in the subsequent occurrence of seizures begins to occur regardless of alcohol intake.

This fact can be explained by the fact that the brain of a patient under the influence of alcohol was involved in a pathological process, which in the future can worsen, with no alcohol intoxication.

The consequences of alcohol epilepsy are terrible and destructive. In most cases, chronic alcoholism is a violation of the functions of organs and their systems, there are diseases that are not amenable to treatment and lead to fatal outcomes. The strongest blow from alcoholism takes on the liver, develops liver dystrophy and cirrhosis.

In this case, the liver can not perform its functions - maintaining normal metabolism, neutralizing and eliminating toxins introduced by drinking alcohol and poor quality food treated with pesticides. The intake of alcohol contributes to the fact that fat deposits clog the liver, violating its functions.

The danger of this pathology is also related to the fact that it is almost impossible to correctly diagnose fatty degeneration in the early stages. This disease is asymptomatic. Late stages of dystrophy go to cirrhosis and hepatitis, and this is the direct path to death. These diseases can not be cured medically.

And the only way to extend your life and not die is a complete refusal to use any alcohol, even low-grade. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to bring this to a chronic alcoholic.

Alcohol has a strong effect on the circulatory system and the digestive tract. This is due to the fact that toxins are common in the body, and a large number of them can lead to the development of coronary artery disease( coronary heart disease), hypertension, atrophy of the gastric mucosa, the occurrence of ulcerative lesions and the onset of acute pancreatitis.

The brain and the human psyche are also targets of alcoholic epilepsy. Alcohol causes the death of neurons of the brain, so patients with chronic alcoholism, memory worsens, depression develops, personality degradation and dementia occur, vision and hearing are impaired. In particularly severe cases, the condition is so deteriorating that it pushes people to suicide.

It's terrible that alcoholism deprives a person of everything - family and friends, high social status, prestigious and well-paid work, and in general the opportunity to live normally in society.
