Characteristics of Elderly Patients With Alcoholism

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Personality factors accounted for 16 cases, while environmental circumstances were associated with 45 cases. In a sample of 100 patients admitted to a county psychiatric hospital, alcoholism was judged to play a major role in 44% of cases (Gaitz and Baer, 1971). Cultural factors may account for an unusually high rate reported in some studies.…”

“…But some studies showed that alcohol abuse was often not recognized in old people [3,7,26], probably due to the nonspecificity of alcohol-related presentations, patient denial, and clinicians' unawareness of alcohol problems in later life. There is an ongoing discussion, how many elder people begin to abuse alcohol in late life and whether late onset alcoholism differs from that of early onset alcoholism [4,15,36].…”
