This ensures effective management of the condition, facilitating a smoother transition from hospital to home in a supportive and nurturing environment, while helping patients maintain as much independence as possible.
Korsakoff’s syndrome is a chronic memory disorder caused by severe thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, often associated with alcohol misuse but can also result from malnutrition, prolonged vomiting, or eating disorders. Thiamine is essential for brain function, and its deficiency leads to damage in several areas of the brain, especially in the thalamus and hypothalamus, which are crucial for memory formation and retrieval.
