Comprehensive Guide to Wet Brain Syndrome

Wet Brain Syndrome (Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome) is a neurological disorder caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, often linked to chronic alcoholism, malnutrition, or medical conditions affecting nutrient absorption. It progresses through two stages: Wernicke’s encephalopathy, the acute stage, and Korsakoff’s syndrome, the chronic phase. Symptoms include confusion, memory loss, coordination issues, and visual disturbances. Early treatment with thiamine supplements is crucial to prevent permanent brain damage. Rehabilitation and ongoing support can aid recovery, though severe cases may require long-term care.
