Alcohol is a part of human culture and has been so for several centuries. Alcohol consumption is an important part of socializing. there are some cultures where alcohol is banned, but in most places in the world, it is freely available. Alcohol is addictive in nature, but only to individuals who consume this substance daily. most drinkers are social drinkers and are able to avoid alcohol as and when necessary. however, prolonged exposure to alcohol can causes serious health problems and it is therefore necessary that if you are an addict you need to quit drinking on your own.

The liver is an important and very complicated organ of the human body. It performs several different functions on which the life of an individual depends. One such function of the liver is of detoxification. This is the process that is associated with alcohol consumption. when the body detects alcohol in its blood, it begins to process the blood through the liver in order to filter this substance out of the body. Hepatitis is a condition where the liver is inflamed due to some infection or condition in the body. Alcoholic hepatitis symptoms vary from patient to patient. in many cases, there will be mild or no alcoholic hepatitis symptoms at all. This is the case with most people who are in the process of developing this condition. as the condition progresses, these individuals will experience alcoholic hepatitis symptoms. the most common alcoholic hepatitis symptoms include pain in the liver area and impaired liver function. This may cause fever, jaundice, ascites and many other potentially life threatening conditions. For individuals who have no alcoholic hepatitis symptoms, an examination may show that the liver is partially enlarged. This is a sign that remedial action needs to be take.

An individual who suffers from alcohol induced hepatitis should avoid the consumption of alcohol completely. everyone should realize that alcoholic hepatitis is a life threatening condition and should therefore seek effective tips to give up drinking. It is not wise to risk one’s life in the pursuit of alcohol. there are many ways to stop drinking which should be tried by any individual who is suffering from alcoholic hepatitis. Individuals may choose to quit drinking on their own or to seek the help of support groups and agencies that can help them get over this problem. in some cases, individuals who are suffering from alcohol dependency may need to be forcefully placed into rehabilitation centers. This usually happens when members of the family or friends circle have had enough of the individual being continuously drunk.

Alcoholic hepatitis treatment depends on the extent to which the liver has been damaged. the liver is a vital organ that cannot be treated if it is damaged beyond a certain point. an individual will also not be able to survive without a liver that is at least partially functional. Liver transplants are possible, but these are usually not given to patients with a history of alcohol abuse simply because there is a good chance that this organ donation will be wasted. therefore, medications and surgical options are used for alcoholic hepatitis treatment.

It should be noted that in most cases, the alcoholic hepatitis symptoms are not particularly dangerous. It is only when an individual ignores these symptoms and continues drinking that the problem really becomes acute. most patients suffering from alcoholic hepatitis will recover fully if they stop alcohol consumption and begin to follow a healthy diet. It is important that such people realize the severity of their condition because this is the only way in which they will be prompted to make a useful change to their habits. Some individuals may be ashamed or embarrassed about their condition. These people can seek anonymous help for their problem of alcohol dependency.

I've been smoking marijuana daily (3-5 times a day) for the past 4 years. For the past few months I have been mistaking inanimate objects for people staring at me, this only occurs with my peripheral vision(I see it in the corner of my eye). I went to my doctor for a check up and at the end I told him about what I had been seeing, he said it may be the first stages of schizophrenia, as marijuana can lead to schizophrenia. Is this true? And is what I'm seeing symptoms of schizophrenia?

No, marijuana does NOT cause schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is an inherited disease, not one caused by marijuana.

Marijuana IS contraindicated with schizophrenia though. If you do have schizophrenia (and you would have been born with it) marijuana can make it worse.

I would say that you are just high too much and need to take a sober break. I fully support marijuana use, but 3-5 times a day every day puts you high nearly 24/7. Thats the equivalent of an alcoholic. I know marijuana is not chemically addictive, but you are using it like an addict, and in a way that is abusive.

You dont have to quit, just take a sober break for a week or so and see what happens.

No, that's retarded. sorry. peripheral vision will always have you seeing things that aren't exactly what they look like. Marijuana does not lead to schizophrenia, but it can muddle your thinking process. After smoking it for that long and that much a day, some damage is definitely done. You should consider cutting down.

Schizophrenia is much more complicated than that. If you are hearing things, seeing things that aren't there in front of you and not in peripheral vision, having trouble forming sentences that make sense (e.g. the keypad made the padding of the windowpane jump off the skyscraper), or thinking that the government is after you, then you have a problem. And plus, you wouldn't recognize that you have a problem. You're okay.

Yes, weed does increase the risk of developing schizophrenia.

I think having misinterpretations of reality (inanimate objects in your case) is one of the more subtle and early symptoms of schizophrenia. go to schizophrenia.com and go to the main discussion forum. tell them what's happening and see what the people there have to say about it. People there will be glad to give you feedback or opinion. You don't have to have an account to post a thread if you don't want to.

The MJ does not cause it, but if you have a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia, then you are likely to get it.

What happens if the side effect of paranoia people get with MJ, tends to unlock such predispositions.

You may want to take a tolerance break.

It is said that it does not cause it, but can trigger it. same damn difference in my opinion. this is how my schizo was "triggered". it will only make it worse too, you should stop now!

damn you are my hero.
and i think your just losing it because you smoke too much.
just take a break you know..
