Korsakoff Syndrome

10 min read

Also known as: Korsakow syndrome · amnestic syndrome · alcohol-related memory loss · Wernicke-Korsakoff · alcohol-induced amnesia · Wernicke encephalopathy · alcohol dementia · thiamine deficiency syndrome

Your Body Is Speaking

You are losing your memory. Not in the everyday way that everyone occasionally forgets a name — but fundamentally. New experiences no longer stick. What happened five minutes ago is gone. And where the gap yawns, you invent stories to fill it — not out of malice, but because your brain is desperately trying to create a continuity it no longer has. Medicine calls this confabulation: a memory that invents itself, because the real memories have disappeared.
