What is Alcohol Dependence / Delirium Tremens?

A condition in which the patient depends on alcohol and experiences withdrawal symptoms if they don't have a drink. These symptoms can range from mild (e.g., irritation, sleeplessness) to severe (confusion, coma, seizures).

Typical Symptoms of Alcohol Dependence / Delirium Tremens

Diagnostic Questions for Alcohol Dependence / Delirium Tremens

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do you experience hand shaking or irritation after quitting alcohol?
  • Recently, are you more confused than before?
  • Do you often drink alcohol in the morning to cure a hangover?
  • Are you drinking more and neglecting family or job?
  • Do you experience fine tremors in your hands or fingers?

Treatment of Alcohol Dependence / Delirium Tremens

Severe symptoms necessitate emergency medical care. Patients are hospitalized and given medications to manage withdrawal and prevent complications. Fluids and vitamins are administered through a needle in the vein to support the patient's wellbeing and protect the brain. In cases of seizures and severe mental confusion, the patient is cared for in the intensive care unit, typically with breathing support and seizure-stopping medications.
