Alcoholic dementia is a \progressive condition. Dementia resulting from chronic alcohol abuse can be permanent, even when alcohol abuse has ceased. Deficiency of vitamin B1, which is often caused by chronic alcohol abuse, can result in severe mental impairment and memory loss.
According to their website located at "http://www.about-dementia.com/articles/about-dementia/dementia-causes
/dementia-metabolic-disorders.php" , "chronic alcohol abuse may lead to peripheral neuropathy, a disease affecting the peripheral nerves that connect with the spinal cord and brain, and dementia.
Symptoms of alcohol-induced dementia include:
Cognitive impairment (often permanent)
memory loss or poor memory recall
lack of motivation
poor concentration
confusion
aphasia (reduced ability to speak or write)
inability to acquire new information
apraxia (inability to perform simple co-ordination or manipulation tasks)
agnosia (inability to identify objects or spoken words, despite intact sensory function)
impaired ability to plan, organize or anticipate a sequence of events
domestic, social or occupational dysfunction
depression"
