Alcohol morphopathology has been studied over time, being a central interest of specialists, due to the negative consequences it has on the brain and the entire central nervous system (CNS). This paper is a review of the literature that emphasizes one of the problems of the modern world, that of the compulsive consume of alcohol, having a great global spread. The studies analyzed are topical, being carried out in recent years and consider the harmful effects of alcohol on brain formations, such as corpus callosum , gray and white matter, hippocampus, and hypothalamus. At the same time, alcohol is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and in combination with other harmful substances, increases the risk of various diseases, such as neurodegeneration. Abusive alcohol consumption can bring epigenetic changes and alter the typical functioning of cognitive functions. This paper focuses on alcohol consumption on adolescents and young people, which is a serious problem nowadays. Alcohol also influences the way of behavioral expression, becoming a risk for the development of mental disorders. However, alcohol withdrawal is another problem with different effects and must be in the attention of specialists.
Motivation: Analyzing a case of paranoid schizophrenia is a challenge to understand the mechanisms underlying the mind of a schizophrenic. The study became captivating because in the patient's delusional cofabulations there were many fingerprints that the communist period of that time left on the woman's psyche, thus observing the repressions following personal failures that probably led to the current state. Objective: Carrying out an analysis of the life history of a patient with paranoid schizophrenia who, although voluntarily presenting at the hospital, does not recognize her diagnosis and treatment. It presents symptoms that include the delusional ideas of persecution or greatness. It has two possible admissions, currently admitted to the psychiatric department in Bucharest. Results: The patient presents disorders regarding perception, memory, affectivity, observing a disorganized discourse that includes a qualitative perceptual disorder, schizophrenia-specific hypoprosexias, disorders of the immediate mental synthesis with illusions of non-recognition, impossibility of evoking recent events, mental and ideation disorganization, the reversal of the affective, which generates conflicting emotional experiences. Conclusion: Although the patient is under treatment, insight is still not present, so patient supervision is recommended. The paranoid nucleus has diminished, but delusional ideas still persist, and the patient became affected during hospitalization.
Current research is based on an experimental two-stage condition. The main objective is to investigate how false memories influence the decision making process, but also the role of emotional regulation in the mentioned relationship. The experiment is based on the DRM paradigm. Participants were aged 18-50 and were divided into two experimental groups. The study investigates both everyday life decision making strategies and those involving taking risks, according to Prospect Theory. The results show that false memories influence decision making process, especially regarding risky ones, but did not support the moderating role of emotion regulation in decision making process under the condition of false memories. The implications of research highlight both the people’s suggestibility and the type of emotional state they should have in order to maintain their trust on false memories.
