Why does one behave strangely after chronic alcohol use?

Question

Hi doctor,

My brother told me that when he drinks, another person takes control of him. I was scared and advised him to seek assistance, but he became irate and refused to talk to me about it anymore. But the other man, I guess the other personality who spoke to me in spanish and really scared me. I have no idea what to do or how to handle it. I am scared because his sound seems dangerous and talks about doing bad things. I really need help and cannot get any help because I cannot tell anyone else.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query,

It is very difficult to advise anything until we need the proper history of the patient and interview. As per your account which is suggestive of alcohol induced psychotic symptoms as per said that whenever he is drunk, he may be hallucinating that someone is talking to him and delusional that he believes that the existence of the other personality. He needs proper assessment and management. I suggest you to get an expert psychiatric opinion nearby where his psychiatric assessment and physical assessment can be done.

Please follow up for further assistances.

Thank you.
