Other psychoses are linked to violation of a swap of vitamins. These are alcoholic encephalopathies.

The delirium tremens (delirium tremens) originates normally against a hang-over, at sudden termination of drunkenness or in the abstention season, in cases of apposition of somatopathies, injuries (specially fractures). Initial symptoms of a psychosis are aggravation of a night sleep, appearance of vegetative symptoms and a tremor, and also the common vivacity of the patient marked in its movements, speeches, a facial expression and specially mood. Throughout short time it is possible to mark the most various shades of mood while in the season of a hungover syndrome the mood is uniform, it is defined by depression and alert.

Under the contents it more often a persecution complex. Patients are routinely falsely oriented in a place (being in hospital, SPK, that they at home, at restaurant, at job), but oriented in the characteristic person. 4 a tremens characteristicly periodic temporary extinction of a considerable proportion of mental disorders, so-called ljutsidnye - light - intervals, and also regularly expressed magnification of symptoms of a psychosis 2NITE and at night.
The delirium tremens is permanently escorted by diverse somatic disorders - jitter, a sharp sweating, a hyperemia of cutaneous coverings, specially faces. Temperature more often the subfebrile. Sphygmus is become frequent. In urine often there is a protein; in blood - the heightened contents of bilirubin, a deviation to the left, the ROE speed-up. Disease routinely short-term.

Alcoholic galljutsnnoz it is advanced or at a hungover syndrome, or at the altitude a drinking-bout. The main disorder - the plentiful auditory hallucinations combining W a persecution complex. Verbal auditory hallucinations prevail, and the patient normally hears the words "said" by major number of people, - "chorus of voices", by frequent definition of patients. There is a talk of "voices" among themselves ABT the patient more often, less often they are addressed 2 the patient. The contents of verbal hallucinations - the threats, convicting arguing of past acts of the patient, cynical abuse, revilings. Quite often hallucinations have is humiliating-teasing nature. Voices that strengthen before cry decay before whisper. Crazy ideas under the contents closely related with auditory hallucinations - a so-called hallucinative delirium. They are sketchy and nesistematizirovany. The affect of intense alert and pavor prevails. In the beginning of a psychosis patients dvigatelno are actuated, but soon there is some dormancy or rather sequenced behaviour masking a psychosis is watched. Last creates false and dangerous submission ABT status enriching. As a rule, psychosis symptoms strengthen in a night and night time. Somatic disorders, an ordinary hang-over 4 a syndrome are constant. Duration of an alcoholic hallucinosis from 2-3 days about several weeks, in rare instances illness is tightened B4 several MTH.
Alcoholic depression occurs always against a hang-over syndrome. It is defined by podavlenno-disturbing mood, ideas of self-abasement, tearfulness, and also separate ideas of the ratio and persuit.

The jealousy delirium tremens (matrimonial incorrectness) originates almost exclusively for men, as a rule, after 40 years, is advanced gradually. In the beginning the patient marks, that the WF began to concern to it inattentively, and in due course is simple W hostility. Even more often, in its judgement, it shows coldness in intimate relations and EVN is simply skewed from them. Simultaneously it seems to it, that the WF starts to monitor more carefully the external appearance, tries to try to look younger, even more often somewhere leaves, permanently everywhere is delayed, and having come home, looks unusually revived and confused. The alcoholic is rasping, we will excite, is violent, requires explanations that involves all become frequent scandals. However the behaviour of a WF "is only aggravated".

To chronic forms of an alcoholic encephalopathy concern korsakovsky a psychosis and an alcoholic pseudoparalysis. In one cases they are advanced by degrees, during a number of MTH and then on nature of the beginning match entssfalopatii Gaje-Voriike, in others - acutely, after alcoholic psychoses, as a rule after a delirium tremens.
The Korsakovsky psychosis appears memory violations: the patient stores nothing from current events or stores it is not enough; the retrograde amnesia, false memories - the confabulations concerning daily events are marked. Last can be expressed in a various degree, sometimes miss. Patients are flaccid, passive, do not show concern to the surrounding. Voice and motor reactions are leant.
