Psychiatrist, CEO of the Medical Innovation Center “Vybor” Sergei Nurislamov warned Russians about the dangers of drinking alcohol to relieve stress. He told the radio Sputnikthat alcohol will not help relieve anxiety.
According to the psychiatrist, the fight against negative emotions with the help of alcohol is an attempt to escape from reality.
“Some people come to the bottle under stress to cloud their minds. But there is a problem: if you “overlap” your mind with various psychoactive substances, you will get a temporary effect. Sooner or later, in order to achieve the effect, a person will have to “immerse” in these psychoactive substances further and further. As a result, you will have to deal with two things: both fears and addiction, ”the doctor said.
He also added that there is a risk of exacerbating paranoia, hysteria and phobias if a person had them before. “There are a number of drugs that will allow you to calm down without consequences. “There are over-the-counter ones, they are easily recommended by a pharmacist in a pharmacy. There are also potent drugs, they can be prescribed by a psychiatrist. You need to contact specialists immediately if the level of anxiety is higher than you would like, ”Nurislamov explained.
Previously, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) found that drinking in moderation is associated with a decrease in overall brain volume. Experts analyzed data on more than 36,000 adults. It turned out that the higher the level of alcohol consumption, the greater the reduction in the brain.
