Core Tip

Core Tip: Alcohol addiction, as a special behavioral pattern, can cause serious mental and physical burdens, and therefore must be highly valued. This article aims to explore the correlation between the formation of alcohol addiction as a behavioral pattern and personality. By randomly grouping alcohol addicted patients and evaluating their mental health using the K10 scale, the results showed that the mental health status of alcohol addicted patients was positively correlated with their personality traits.
