Delirium Tremens
Delirium tremens is a serious complication that can appear when a person with significant alcohol dependence abruptly stops or reduces their consumption, causing an acute disturbance of mental status and the nervous system.
Common symptoms: Intense confusion, agitation, tremors, sweating, sleep disturbances, and, at times, hallucinations or marked disorientation.
When to see a doctor? It constitutes a medical emergency; when these signs appear after stopping alcohol, immediate care is required.
Which specialist treats it? Follow-up of delirium tremens and of the underlying dependence falls to the psychiatrist, within a management approach that prioritizes the person's safety. Seeking professional help early is essential in these cases. Appropriate support and assessment of alcohol consumption are a central part of the management.
