Summary

Chronic alcohol use disorder is an important cause of major neurocognitive disorder. There are several suggested mechanisms for how alcohol use disorder leads to major neurocognitive disorder. Medical treatment of alcohol use disorder can help limit the late effects of alcohol use. Alcohol-induced major neurocognitive disorder can be partially reversible with abstinence but this depends on the severity of the pathology.
