Treatment of alcohol-induced psychiatric disorders

The treatment of alcohol-induced psychotic disorder is divided into two steps. The first is to stop drinking, because the cause of alcohol-induced psychotic disorder is still alcohol dependence, so it is necessary to stop drinking. The second aspect is to use some antipsychotic drugs because there are psychotic symptoms. The choice of antipsychotic drugs is also based on the target symptoms, whether there are more hallucinations and delusions, more prominent emotional symptoms, or more obvious cognitive decline, and the choice of antipsychotic drugs, antidepressants, sedative and sleeping drugs, or brain protection drugs is different according to the different target symptoms. In addition to medication, there is also psychotherapy. The psychotherapy of alcohol-induced psychiatric disorders is the same as other psychiatric disorders, where more psychotherapy is given in the acute phase, and later on there is some motivational reinforcement and some cognitive behavioral therapy. If the audience is married, there is also psychotherapy for the family to be initiated. It is through medication plus psychotherapy plus health education that the patient can be restored to the normal range from different directions.
