Part 3 – Castle Craig – How Alcohol Affects the Brain
Dr Peter Geerlings and Dr Geert Dom present at Castle Craig’s 2008 annual reunion. Part III examines how we can improve executive brain functioning in patients who are in recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction. It also addresses ‘denial’ (the inability to self-reflect on your behaviour) as a reason for relapse. Dr Dom also cites sport as one of the best ways to improve cognitive function.
