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?
- Are you drinking more and neglecting family or job?
- Do you often drink alcohol in the morning to cure a hangover?
- Do your fingers tremble slightly?
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.

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
