Chronic heavy drinking markedly reduces the ability to recognize and interpret the emotions of other people, which is particularly interesting because we know that chronic heavy drinkers often have difficulty in social relationships.
Ever feel like alcohol is messing with your head? In this eye-opening episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch takes you on a journey through the five key areas of mental ability that alcohol abuse can seriously mess up. We're talking about memory formation, abstract thinking, problem-solving, attention and concentration, and even how you perceive emotions. Drawing from the book 'Buzzed: The Straight Facts About the Most Used and Abused Drugs', Matt doesn't just leave you hanging with the bad news.
He dives into practical ways to heal your brain and regain these mental faculties through neurogenesis. If you've ever wondered why heavy drinkers struggle with social relationships, this episode sheds some light on that too. Perfect for anyone battling alcohol addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers both understanding and hope for recovery.
