The Eye-Opening Science Behind Alcoholic Rage FHE Health

The link between alcohol and anger has to do with alcohol’s ability to remove your inhibitions and disrupt your emotional regulation. When you drink alcohol, parts of your brain that manage anger are suppressed, making it more likely for angry feelings to bubble to the surface. Alcohol affects brain chemistry by altering neurotransmitters, which manage our mood and impulses. It decreases inhibition and can increase stress hormones like cortisol, making some individuals more prone to anger and aggression when drinking. Alcoholic rage syndrome refers to a pattern of intense anger and aggression triggered by alcohol consumption. This can range from… Read More

Alcohol and COVID-19 National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism NIAAA

According to the false information circulated recently, the ingestion of alcohol would have helped to destroy the SARS-CoV-2 virus. There is no medical basis to support this fact, on the contrary, alcohol abuse weakens the body’s protection against viral respiratory infections [78]. Other interesting examples may be the decrease of alcohol consumption in college students, after the campus closure, the main explanation being that they got back home, to live with their families, with less social events and binge drinking [46,47]. In Eastern Europe, a research project implemented in Poland has shown an increase in alcohol consumption in 146%, with… Read More

Alcohol and coronavirus COVID-19: Myths and effects on the body

While one preprint study suggests that alcohol intolerance is a common symptom of long COVID, there’s very little research on the topic. Because drinking alcohol and being hungover can lead to digestive upset, headaches, mood changes, and difficulty thinking clearly — all symptoms of long COVID — it may worsen these symptoms. Although the underlying mechanisms aren’t fully understood, the symptom may be linked to the broader condition of long COVID and share similarities with conditions like myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Alcohol consumption may make your symptoms worse, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)…. Read More

And while the compounds have similar chemical structures, they have very different psychoactive effects. Several studies assessed the effects of CBD on the intoxication and relapse phases of psychostimulant addiction. CBD has no psychoactive contents, making them non-addictive substances. Thus, some people consider it a natural alternative to opioid-based medication for managing inflammation, chronic pain, diabetes, and epilepsy(5). Existing research also demonstrates that CBD oil could help thwart addiction to other dangerous substances, such as tobacco or opioids. A 2013 study published in Addictive Behaviors looked at the effectiveness of CBD as a way to reduce tobacco cigarette consumption. Other… Read More

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies for Generalized Anxiety Disorder Society of Clinical Psychology

Through therapy, exercises, and homework, a therapist encourages people to recognize and gain control over their automatic thoughts and to learn ways to change their behaviors. As a result, a person may feel better, leading to a more positive cycle between these three things. While you and the therapist should set specific goals, the general aim of CBT is to reframe negative thoughts into positive feelings and behaviors. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that helps you recognize negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT often targets cognitive distortions, or irrational patterns of thought that can negatively… Read More
