i) Dementia….approximately 10 percent of all dementia cases are related to alcohol consumption, making it the second leading cause of dementia.
ii) Impairment of social skills…. Social skills are significantly impaired in people suffering from alcoholism due to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol on the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex area of the brain. The social skills that are impaired by alcohol abuse include impairments in perception and theory of mind deficits (the inability to attribute mental states such as beliefs & desires, e.t.c to oneself and others and to understand that others have beliefs & desires that are different from one's own); additionally, the ability to understand humour is also impaired in alcohol abusers.
iii) Anxiety and depression disorders… These conditions usually initially worsen during alcohol withdrawal, but typically improve or disappear with continued abstinence.
iv) Alcohol induced psychosis….(often confused with schizophrenia) may result.
v) Panic disorder--can develop or worsen as a direct result of long-term alcohol misuse.
