In this second part of a six-part series, Dr. Frita delves into the medical struggles of Wendy Williams, focusing specifically on the condition known as "alcohol-induced dementia."

Intriguingly revealed in the docuseries "Where is Wendy Williams?" are the compounding illnesses affecting Wendy Williams, notably alcohol-induced dementia. As disclosed by Wendy's son, Kevin Junior, this predicament results from chronic alcohol consumption, leading to debilitating neurologic damage and cognitive impairments.

Alcohol-induced dementia, or alcohol-related dementia, occurs due to long-term excessive alcohol use, resulting in brain damage. Traditionally recognized symptoms include frontal lobe damage, causing the loss of inhibition, poor planning skills, and impaired executive function like organizing one's schedule. Moreover, inappropriate behaviors and disregard for consequences often emerge.

Furthermore, alcohol toxins can directly affect neurological systems, exacerbate vitamin deficiencies—such as thiamine deficiency leading to Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome—and mimic signs affiliated with other dementia types like frontotemporal or Alzheimer’s dementias.

• Loss of inhibition and poor decision making.
• Memory loss and cognitive impairments.
• Inability to perform day-to-day tasks like dressing.
• Possible development of psychiatric symptoms.

Time remains precious. Refraining from alcohol consumption is crucial. When detected early, halting alcohol usage has notably shown the reversal of minor cognition defects, although potential irrecoverable damage exists based on severity.

While Wendy's ailments are mere symptom interpretations and lack "official diagnoses," stay vigilant for tomorrow’s segment, where Dr. Frita continues her analysis covering frontotemporal dementia.
