My father is a recovering alcoholic. He has been sober for three years. When he returned home from treatment, he adjusted well to the changes in his new life being completely sober. However, a few months into his recovery, he began to do things that were completely irrational. Nothing immoral or physically destructive. It’s as though his thought process had been damaged. It started out slowly and has progressively gotten worse. His symptoms are similar to those of a child with ADHD. His regular day-to-day decision making is completely irrational. He does not fit the criteria for dimensia. He drank for over 30 yrs. Has anyone ever experienced this with a recovering alcoholic or have any info about it. Could this be damage from the alcoholism, or are these signs of some other type of mental disease. I’m desperate for a method of treatment. If anyone is familiar with this, please help!!!
