Alcoholic women suffer more brain damage than men

alcoholic women suffer more brain damageSome unfortunate research has just been published that alcoholic women suffer more brain damage as a result of their drinking than men do.

They appear to be more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol withdrawal particularly. In the long term, this eventually leads to cognitive dysfunction and motor control disorders.

Male brains, by comparison, seem to be better at repairing some of that damage. But not all of it of course, just in case any men were thinking that was a carte blanche to drink more!

    I am greatly impressed with your information on SelfGrowth.com and what I read here. It appears that you do know that addiction is a medical disease when the brain is engaged.
    My partner of 8 years is now after 24 years of drinking. This has been a difficult year for her to find 4 months of sobriety one day at a time. Together, we have a story.

    Can you help with a new research project about alcoholism?

    Hi

    We are running a research blog into the diagnosis, treatment and lifestyles of people who have been diagnosed with alcoholism.

    We are really interested in the story of you or a friend’s or family member’s diagnosis. It would be really great if you could spare a few minutes to have look and share your thoughts

    Please remember that all responses are completely anonymous and this study will help shape new research into this area.

    Email me if you have any queries about this project.

    Thanks

    For evidence-based information on Alcohol Dependence (Alcoholism) and Alcohol Abuse, please visit the new website AlcoholAnswers.org

    There are sections for the Alcohol Dependent and the Families and Friends along with information on evidence-based treatment modalities - including medicated-assisted treatment, Resources and Discussion Communities for support and information.

    We hope that this will be of help for those seeking information on Alcohol Dependence (Alcoholism) and Alcohol Abuse.
