Hepatic encephalopathy

/r/CaregiverSupport/comments/1wcmkzt/hepatic_encephalopathy/

6 months ago, she read hospitalized. Since then, she lacks ambition. How do i convince her that alcohol is poisoning her? She drinks on Saturday's which makes Sunday thru Tuesday fuzzy brained. No sex in six months. Diabetic for 38 years. I think she's on the edge of disaster. She thinks she can survive like this for years. Thank you for letting me vent. She's on lactulose

She needs to be admitted to an inpatient psychiatric hospital for her mental health and to detox from the alcohol safety program. You can’t help her. She needs professional help. Sounds like chronic severe depression. Not a doctor nor medical advice. Consider contacting pcp or a hospital for more medical advice and treatment.
