Psychiatrist MUDr. Karel Nešpor (69), a recognized expert on addiction, has extensive experience with alcoholism in both men and women. What does Dagmar Patrasová (66), who many say have a drinking problem, advise on eXtra.cz? Getting her to heal against her own will, basically depriving her of her own rights, will not be easy.

Actress and singer Dagmar Patrasová (66) had a car accident on Monday, May 23: she crashed into a car and concrete barriers, and finally got in front of the called police she refused to undergo breathing examination and she denied and driver’s license.
Many still have after her shocking video wandered Vinohradyabsolutely clear: he thinks he has severe alcohol dependence.
What about the guru of Czech alcoholics MUDr. Karel Nespor? “I don’t know the lady in question personally, I haven’t seen the videos. I can only speak in general, “he began his story for eXtra.cz.
“He who drinks regularly is with him they may suffer from liver, heart disease, may have high blood pressure etc. Women’s drinking has specific features. The danger of alcohol is also determined by gender. Women have smaller livers, so alcohol is broken down more slowly. Addiction develops faster, and damage to their health also comes sooner. For example, liver damage occurs faster“Warns the psychiatrist.
Grandmothers sipped drinking for their grandchildren
“When I worked in the women’s ward, I usually encountered a situation where the couple both drank, both the same. The woman developed an addiction and he left her as an alcoholic. He found another one, but he also raised an alcohol addict, “he says, a little surprised.
“Women, on the other hand, are more ashamed of their drinking. This has both advantages and disadvantages. The downside is that they drink alone more often and keep it a secret. The advantage is that because they are ashamed of itthey are usually more motivated to try to do something about it, they come to treatment with it, “explains Nespor.
„I would like to offer you one cute experience from a practice where ladies 50+ came to treatment, often very noble women, whose motivation was that their sons or daughters did not want to lend them grandchildren. This is not a key endeavor for a man who delves into delirium, “he says with a certain amount of exaggeration. Thanks to her son, Dada also has grandchildren, so maybe this is the way …

Excuses are a myth, says Nespor
What does the excuse expert say why they drink? For example, some women argue about a partner’s actual or perceived infidelity. “It’s a myth. Many more sophisticated addicted people are able to list thirty reasons why they are addicted, but they are worth it. he says vigorously.
“Addiction does not arise as a result of one situation, but as a result of the interaction of various risk factors. Being born in Central Europe is in itself risky. It is a wet area of the world. Mental health also plays a role in the education or circle of people we meet. There are a number of factors. Treatment should focus, among other things, on reducing the impact of risk factors and, conversely, on strengthening protective factors. This is just what an older lady’s bond to her grandchildren. It’s basically like chess. Black figures are risk factors and white protective ones, “he explains.
“For example one of our patients only realized after about the third recurrence that being a bartender is not completely ideal for him. Now he has a job in another field and he abstains easily, “adds MUDr. Karel Nespor.
Regarding Patras, it is often speculated that she may be drinking because of an unhappy marriage. But according to the doctor, this will prolong the problems.
„If someone was sad before drinking alcohol, sadness deepens in the hangover. I estimate that a good half of the people I meet at work are, in addition to addiction, perfectly sane people. If someone has mental problems, alcohol is more dangerous for them. When he doesn’t have these problems, he’s also dangerous to him,He argued some time ago People’s Newspaper.
What should a family do when a woman destroys her life and career
The doctor also issued free guide for husbands and wives of addicts. He could certainly learn from her as well saxophonist Felix Slováček.
What does it say?
“Living with an addict is stressful. He often behaves unpredictably, is unreliable and has complications. Whoever lives with such a person should remember the problems caused to him and his family by a dependent partner. He should also be aware of possible future risks. In such a situation, it pays to think mainly about yourself”Says the doctor.
„Addiction is a disease, but it should not be abused. If someone suggests that they go for treatment, suddenly they are healthy and do not need any treatment. Wise love says something like this: ‘I care about you, but if you continue like this, I will go my own way,’ he explains.
Listen to how difficult Dagmar Patrasová spoke after the accident (source: editing and audio: eXtra.cz/foto and video: Aktu.cz):
Quarrels are priceless
“It doesn’t make much sense to discuss or blame an intoxicated person. He perceives the tone of voice and gestures rather than the content of words. Therefore, it is better to speak in a calm voice and keep a longer distance. It is better to postpone a serious conversation until the next day. Then the dependent person is more willing to make concessions. It is also a good time to suggest addiction treatment“The doctor writes.
“Professional help also helps, for example in a counseling center for family, marriage and interpersonal relationships or in a specialized addiction treatment office. It is also possible to use telephone assistance, e.g. The crisis intervention center has a telephone number of 284 016 666 and is in continuous operation.
A useful organization for relatives of alcohol addicts is Al-Anon and works in several Czech cities. Attendance at meetings is free and there is no need to book in advance, ”he gives tips for help.
How to get an addict to heal
- Find out what the treatment options are and inform your partner about them.
- You can also motivate the addict to voluntary treatment by making the duration of the relationship conditional on treatment.
- Involuntary residential treatment is possible if someone is dangerous to themselves or their surroundings. Addiction alone is usually not a sufficient reason for this form of treatment. Addicted people with suicidal tendencies, hallucinations, delusions, etc. are involuntarily admitted to psychiatric facilities. Transportation to such treatment can be arranged by any doctor, often an emergency service doctor.
- Treatment may also be ordered by a court. This happens when there has been a crime in connection with an addictive illness.
