Abstract:
Individuals with alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD) represent a population whose healthcare needs often go unmet. This is the result of a lack of not only an awareness surrounding the condition by healthcare professionals, but also healthcare service inclusion and delivery, more broadly. The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the associated lockdowns dramatically affected the accessibility and availability of addiction services globally, while also driving changes in alcohol consumption among the most vulnerable. In the absence of change, this culmination of increased high-risk drinking behaviour, lack of awareness by healthcare professionals and severely limited service delivery for individuals living with ARBD post COVID-19, represents a perfect storm that is rapidly approaching our health and care services world-wide. Collectively, this will reduce positive health outcomes in an already at-risk group.

Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
