Elderly people are particularly vulnerable to comorbid disorders. The age-related weakness, cognitive decline, and criticism create favorable conditions for the formation of traumatic situations and is often accompanied by an increase in alcohol consumption, which in some cases leads to the formation of mental and physical dependence. Alcohol abuse leads to exacerbation of somatic disorders, the frequency of which increases with age. Alcoholism in the elderly leads to the accelerated development of organic mental disorders of varying severity. In turn, organic mental disorders lead to aggravation and complication of alcoholism. The formed comorbid disorder makes it difficult to diagnose and provide therapeutic and preventive measures.
