White fever is a hard test for close people

Surely many people have heard that people who suffer from alcohol dependence are not limited to liver diseases alone. As a rule, another "gift" comes to replace the long-term drunkenness - white fever. It does not arise from scratch, and precedes its offensive for a long, sometimes several months, binge.

The white fever is curable, but almost always the patient expects consequences.
But let's figure out in order that is true about this state of the psyche and the human body, and that is surrounded by popular speculation, since alas, on the Internet you can often find only horror stories about this ailment, and not truthful and accurate information.

White fever: symptoms and treatment.

According to the behavior of a person, one can foresee that processes of degradation take place in his brain. If there was a prolonged drinking-up, plus the age of the patient for 40 years, then there is a high probability that sooner or later (as a rule, early) there will be a fever. Moreover, if his sleep worsened, he became alarmed. And even if a person stops drinking because of poor health, this does not mean that now everything will start to improve. It is after a sharp stop in the consumption of alcohol, usually after 2 or 3-4 days comes the white fever.

It is dangerous because in such a state a person is capable of insane acts and becomes dangerous not only for himself, but for others. For example, it may seem to him that the devils live in the house and to get rid of their presence, he sets fire to his house. Sometimes forgetting, even without thinking that other people can live in the house. Or the patient in the attack suffices a knife and does not realize that before him a living person, he imagines, say, the image of a dead person. Therefore, many people ask themselves: a husband, a son, a daughter has a fever. What to do?

By the way, according to statistics, it is mostly men who are exposed to it, rather than women, but in many respects it is also because there are more obvious alcoholics among men, while women drink imperceptibly, little, but often, and do not go into drinking for a month. Although, of course, the danger of alcoholism does not decrease. If you are forced to live with such a person, then you truly should be endowed with a huge, simply inhuman patience. People whose relatives drink and fall into a state of alcoholic coma, or who have a fever, say that living in the same territory with such a person is a real hell. And it says a lot.

If there is a possibility, it is necessary to go to a safe place or, at least, to protect your children. Another thing is that in practice there is nowhere to go close, and driving an alcoholic out of the house means doom him to death and few will dare to take such a desperate step, especially if you are tied with blood ties. The situation seems hopeless.

In such cases, close people go to court to limit a person's legal capacity. Guardianship is established over him. He can not buy alcohol, because he is incompetent and, moreover, he is registered and prevented from going to specialized clinics. This, of course, ideally. And in practice, all this requires cost and mental effort to go to the courts and courts, negotiate with doctors and so on. So people live, turning to specialists, only when a person has started another seizure. After a few weeks, it is restored (although it can not go about full restoration, as was written above) and everything starts again.
Therefore, alcoholism must be exterminated in the earliest stages, and not sit and wait that "it will resolve itself" or the person will come to his senses.

Alas, as practice shows, not everyone consciously decides to break with drunkenness. There are no more than 40%. And those who decide, often stumble again.
Alcoholism - the scourge of our society and antidote to it so far there.
