Resume

The impact of exogenous factors on alcoholism and cognitive impairments, including environmental factors, socio-economic conditions, stress, depression, and other psychological conditions affecting the development of alcohol dependence and cognitive disorders, is well-documented in the literature. The COVID-19 pandemic, as an exogenous factor, has significantly influenced alcohol abuse, as highlighted in numerous studies. However, the impact of the pandemic on patients with alcohol dependence and cognitive impairments following COVID-19 infection has not been sufficiently studied. An analysis of cognitive impairments in patients with alcohol dependence who had COVID-19 revealed that attention or concentration deficits were observed in 72% of cases, short-term memory decline in 64%, and executive function impairments in 58%, which were significantly higher than in the control group. Additionally, depressive symptoms (60%), anxiety disorders (65%), insomnia, and vegetative symptoms (70%) were significantly more prevalent in the primary group. This may be related to both the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 infection on the nervous system.

Keywords: alcohol dependence, exogenous factors, COVID-19 pandemic, cognitive impairments, diagnosis, rehabilitation.
