What Happened To Wendy Williams? Breaking Down Alcohol-induced Dementia [Part 2]
This video is intended to be informational only and it is based on the alleged illnesses and conditions that have been publicly released regarding Wendy Williams' health. It is not a medical consultation, nor is it personalized medical advice. For medical advice, please consult your physician.
I'm Dr. Frita. I'm a medical doctor who has been triple board certified, but I am not Wendy Williams' doctor, nor do I have privy to any more of her medical information than the general public. In the docuseries, "Where is Wendy Williams?" she and her family have revealed a lot of the medical struggles Wendy has been having. And so that's what we're breaking down in this daily six-part series. Please be sure to check out part one from yesterday where we broke down lymphedema, Wendy Williams' feet.
How Does Alcohol Affect the Body? 5 Startling Facts That Will Leave You Speechless!
• How Does Alcohol Affec...
If you have not seen it, check the link in the description. Today is part two, and we'll be talking about alcohol-induced dementia. Also, go ahead and click that like button and share this video with the people you care about because I'm about to give you some good information. All right, part two, alcohol-induced dementia. A couple of days prior to the docuseries being released, Wendy Williams' team revealed that she had a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.
But in the docuseries, her son Kevin Junior shared that he had been told that she has alcohol-induced dementia to his recollection. So let's talk about it. It is very clear from the documentary that Wendy is suffering from an alcohol overuse problem or an alcohol addiction. And alcohol-induced dementia or alcohol-related dementia is when a patient gets dementia due to long-term excessive use of alcohol, and it causes neurologic damage and impairment of cognitive function.
We definitely see some signs of that, but how do you know if it's alcohol dementia or if it is that frontotemporal dementia that her team says she has? Make sure you also tune in tomorrow because for part three, I'll be covering frontotemporal dementia. So alcohol is not only a neurotoxin, meaning it's directly toxic to the brain. Well, it can also cause a vitamin deficiency which can give you a Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, and again, you get signs of dementia. We'll get into it. Interestingly, alcohol-induced dementia tends to affect women more than men, and women will show signs even with lesser amounts of alcohol intake than men.
So signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced dementia may include damage to the frontal lobe, so you have a loss of inhibition. You can lose the ability to plan or to carry out executive functioning, like you might lose your ability to organize your daily calendar, to write a check even. You may develop inappropriate behavior, and you have a lack of care about the consequences. You could care less if you're rude to somebody or if you call someone a name, like calling them dumb, or body shaming them.
And yes, we did see some things in the documentary that could be consistent with these signs of alcohol-induced dementia. You may experience memory loss, and we saw in the documentary that Wendy Williams forgot what the Oscars were. Again, I'm not her doctor. I don't know officially what her diagnosis is. You may also lose the ability to carry out simple tasks like getting yourself dressed in the morning. You can have an impairment of language. So you can also develop some psychiatric problems like depression, change in personality, and psychosis. You can have a disconnect from reality. You can also experience anxiety.
Your engagement and participation in these discussions are invaluable, so don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments section. Together, let's continue to learn, understand, and support those facing these challenging health battles.

    Wendy Williams has faced significant challenges, and her openness about her struggles is commendable. Wendy’s story sheds light on the importance of understanding the impact of alcohol abuse on cognitive health. By sharing her journey, she’s educating us about the potential consequences. As a layperson, I associated dementia with aging and not alcohol.

If you can find that show, you'll see Dr Oz's reaction to Wendy when she refuses the vaccine.... then all of the sudden Wendy, after years of alcoholism, just up and loses her mind too much to do her show anymore? I know plenty of alcoholics, they don't just suddenly up and lose their minds.

Could it be that it was thought that's what it was at first and when it wasn't improved by stopping that they did further testing to see it was the frontal one .

    I mean she did say she doesn't have access to her records, and nor is she her doctor. She also said that the breakdown of Wendy's condition is based off the information from the documentary, and in it, her own says that to his recollection, it is alcohol induced dementia, even though that conflicts with what her team says. She's just giving medical information as to what those conditions mentioned in the documentary could entail. That's just what I got from what was said in this video. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    let’s first try to get there stop diagnosing her from what the kidnapper said you did not see her doctor report who have no financials speak in this you did not go to school to just repeat what some kidnapper said. Remember it started out with Wells Fargo.l Still don’t give her back her money an appoint guardianship understarted on the slavery, mentality start out with her husband and also the topic that you were working who put her in the crossfire with people She never wrote anything that she said on her show she was giving a script and she repeat it stop running with this the kidnapper said anything. did you see all the feeding or alcohol and hear how she didn’t have any food or Friend had to sit in our food. Let’s talk at that let’s try to work tohold of the kidnappers on then we get the p doctor to please don’t do this. it’s 2:28 in the night. somethings may not spell it right, but you get the point what I’m trying to say are you a mother are you are sister how would you like your one son taking away the power have no say in his mother condition only from what the kidnapper said, who are the beneficiary this is the only child she have. I can’t imagine how you feels I pray and hope this never happen to none of us these things happening right in America legal kidnapping for your own money and your trust your sister with your proxy and then she turn it over to your fake jeweler you aren’t outstanding person with a credible reputation stop running with the kidnapper story let’s wait and get her whenever she’s free from my real doctor. I have nothing to benefit from Wells Fargo money that they steal from her all this bullshit is a lie look at the documentary who by the liquor far can you believe you have money or you don’t have any food your best friend have to send food for you this is treating me. It’s almost your o’clock in the morning and he keeping me up. She’s not related to me but she’s a sister.
