Psych Flashcards
5 stages of substance abuse
1) pre contemplative - denial
2) contemplative - acceptance
3) preparation - committed steps
4) action - actual behavioral change
5) maintenance - sustained behavioral change
populations more susceptible for alcoholism (MC abused substance)
native americans

they have increased for suicide
Wernickes
reversible cerebellum
tx - thiamine + folate –> D50
korsakoffs
irreversible confuabulation
alcoholic found down and out you give what in what order
thiamine followed by d50 after otherwise you worsen the hypoglycemia
acute alcohol intoxication symptoms and tx
disinhibtion amnesia ataxia
nausea vomiting and death
slurred speech
tx - IVF, time
EtOH withdrawal symptom order
HTN (diastolic) + tachy tremors, diaphoresis, seizures agitation, confusion DTs then death
mechanism and pathway for etoh withdrawal seizures
etoh –> increases GABA which blocks brain activity
chronic etoh –> downregulated gaba receptors since they are always blocked by GABAa–> so with etoh stop (no more inhibitor on activity) there leads to overactivity in the muscles (tremors) and the brain (seizures)
treatment of alcohol withdrawal or benzo withdrawal (same thing)
long acting benzos + short acting benzos
as they improve you take away short acting
what are long acting benzos
