<unk>  presents as a global deterioration in intellectual function with memory not being specifically affected, but it may occur with other forms of dementia, resulting in a wide range of symptoms. Certain individuals with<unk>  present with damage to the frontal lobes of their brain causing disinhibition, loss of planning and executive functions, and a disregard for the consequences of their behavior. Other types of<unk>  such as Wernicke encephalopathy cause the destruction of certain areas of the brain, where changes in memory, primarily a loss of short-term memory, are the main symptom. Most presentations of<unk>  dementia are somewhere along the spectrum between a global dementia and Korsakoff's psychosis, and may include symptoms of both. Individuals affected by<unk>  may develop memory problems, language impairment, and an inability to perform complex motor tasks such as getting dressed. Heavy<unk>  consumption also damages the nerves in arms and legs, i.e. peripheral neuropathy, as well as the cerebellum that controls coordination thereby leading to the development of cerebellar ataxia. These patients frequently have problems with sensation in their extremities and may demonstrate unsteadiness on their feet.<unk>  can produce a variety of psychiatric problems including psychosis (disconnection from reality), depression, anxiety, and personality changes. Patients with<unk> ic dementia often develop apathy,<unk>  to frontal lobe damage, that may mimic depression. People with an<unk>  use disorder are more likely to become depressed than people without<unk>  use disorder, and it may be difficult to differentiate between depression and<unk>  dementia.
