Аннотация

Due to the relatively rapid development of the disease, the young age of onset of the disease, resistance to therapy, as well as its fairly widespread prevalence, the treatment of alcoholism is an important and urgent problem in narcology [1, 3, 6]. According to our own observations, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence in young people are significantly based on obvious psychological and neurological problems. In addition, premorbid borderline mental disorders in women who drink are detected twice as often (60-70%) than in men who drink (30%). Key words: cognitivedisorders, mental disorders, young age, alcoholism. Today, alcoholism is both a medical and a social problem that affects all spheres of human life. According to the World Health Organization, 5.9% of the world's population dies from alcoholism [2]. According to recent data, the incidence of alcoholism among young people has been increasing in recent years [5]. Even short -term alcohol consumption causes irreversible organic changes in the brain, which are clinically manifested in the form of various disorders [3, 4, 6]. It was found, that this is a characteristic feature of permanent mental impairment in patients with alcoholism. Alcohol addiction leads to various brain diseases. This leads to various cognitive impairments [4, 7]. Neuropsychological research methods, along with modern clinical and instrumental methods, play a special role in the identification of cognitive disorders in patients with alcoholism. They make it possible to detect not only focal diseases at different stages of the disease, but also structural and functional changes in the brain (Mini-Mental State Examination – MMSE), widely used as a conventional method [1]. Early diagnosis of cognitive impairment in It is important for patients with alcoholism both from a theoretical and practical point of view, since treatment and prevention measures are most effective at this stage. The purpose of the study: to study emotional, personal and cognitive disorders in young people with alcohol dependence. Materials and methods of research. To solve these tasks, 160 alcoholism patients aged 24 to 44 years were examined, treated and followed up with catamnestic observation. The experimental group consisted of 80 patients – 50 men and 30 women. The study was conducted on the basis of the Regional Narcological Dispensary in Andijan. The control group included 80 people (45 men and 35women, average age 30.8± 0.7years), during the study, representatives of this group were characterized as practically healthy, based on the fact that they had no somatic and mental disorders, they were not registered in narcological and psychiatric dispensaries. The main research methods in the work were: Clinical and neurological, psychometric scales for assessing cognitive functions (Mini-Mental State Examination – MMSE), sociometric – assessment of the severity and dynamics of socio-labor and family-household maladjustment, experimental psychological. Psychological testing was carried out using the following tests: The www.wordlyknowledge.uz ILMIYMETODIK JURNAL JOURNAL OFIQRO –ЖУРНАЛ ИҚРО –IQRO JURNALI –volume 14,issue02,2025 ISSN:2181-4341, IMPACT FACTOR( RESEARCH BIB )–7,245,SJIF–5,431 MMPI test (a variant of the mini-mult psychological questionnaire test, which is abbreviated form) to study the personality traits of the subjects.

MMSE (Mini-Mental State) examination Examination) revealed patients with impaired understanding of time and space, willpower, memory, attention deficit, changes in reading, writing, drawing and repetition of sentences. It was found that half of the examined patients had moderate dementia, 13% had mild dementia, 26% had no pre-dementia, and 13%had nocognitive impairment.These figures are shown intable1. № MMSE Scale(Mini-Mental StateExamination) abs % 1 No cognitiveimpairment (score 28-30) 10 13 2 Pre-dementiastatus (score 24-27) 21 26 3 Milddementia (score 20-23) 10 13 4 Moderate dementia (score 11-19) 39 48 5 Severe dementia(0-10 points) - - Table 1.Prevalence ofcognitive impairment ontheMMSE scale Of the men surveyed, 22.9% with alcohol dependence and 25.7% of healthy men served in the army. At the time of the survey, 38.6% with alcohol dependence and 58.6% of healthy people had a permanent job. By marital status, thegroups are dominated byunmarried people, only 20% of patients with alcohol dependence and 32.9% of healthy people have their own family. 13 drug addicts (18.6%) and 20 control subjects (28.6%) have children. Correlation analysis has shown that there is a relationship between the characteristics identified the scale of hypomania 9mA "MMPI", and the characteristics of the scales of hysteria ZNu "MMPI" (g=0.318, p <0.01). This confirms the inherent qualities of the given group: high personal activity,
