Question by Answers Addict: Do binge-drinking brains and schizophrenic brains look similar?
If you were to compare the brain of a binge drinker to a normal one, then compare the brain of a schizophrenic to a normal one on a brain scan, would the two ‘abnormal’ brains look very much alike?
Could these possibly be confused for one another?

I dont think or know that there have been any comparisons specific to alcoholic brains……..there have been some on the ‘brain damaged ‘ brain……..and they note differences.

My opinion is that hormones play a part in each , so there may be similarities or commonalities as to the cause of the illnesses

No. An addicted brain looks different than a schizophrenics. Also there are significant differences in the female and male brains. In schizophrenic males, the ventricles are larger. In females there is no enlargement in the ventricles.Addiction is a neurobiological disorder. It has to do with nerves firing differently.
