a 25 year old male that personality has been changing over the last 6 months…becoming more and more withdrawn, having a hard time connecting ideas and sentences. erratic behavior..hard time controlling impulses..depression, alcohol abuse…detatchment from reality, wandering..lack of hygiene, changes in eating habits..weight loss..loss of self awareness. this person is going to see a specialist..i’m just wondering if there is something that could cause this that is not so much chemical but would show up on an MRI…once it started it’s been getting progressively worse and worse. thank you.

    All alcohol/drug use, is symptomatic of a deep rooted psychological problem, usually occurring in childhood. If one must drink to be social, well you draw your own conclusions.
    What is been described in the question, is typical symptoms of alcoholism. Chemical imbalance in brain is a side effect of methanol in the blood stream.
    You say he is seeing a “specialist”, if so that person should be aware of the above. If so they will recommend treatment which is appropriate. (This I would think include de-toxic, re-hab and AA)

    An MRI might help, but sometimes people get that way; especially those who are not right with God.

    Could be borderline personality disorder, depression, or some other organic mental illness — I’d take him to see a therapist.

  4. Yes he probably has a mental illness caused by a brain chemistry imbalance. I can’t tell you for sure what his diagnosis could be, but it might be clinical depression or the early stages of schizophrenia. He really should talk to a doctor about this and get a referral to a psychiatrist. I hope you can convince him to seek help. The sooner these things are treated the better the outcome is likely to be.
