Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a serious condition that affects a person’s ability to control their alcohol consumption. It often leads to a cycle of compulsive drinking, despite harmful consequences. Individuals with AUD may prioritize alcohol over responsibilities and relationships, impacting work, family, and health. Over time, the disorder can lead to significant physical and mental health issues, including liver disease and anxiety. Early intervention and treatment can help manage symptoms, reduce dependence, and improve overall quality of life.
