Prevention
Due to its behavioral-induced triggers, Korsakoff syndrome is often seen as a preventable condition. The most effective way to prevent Korsakoff syndrome is to avoid a deficiency of thiamine or vitamin B. Since alcoholism is the most common cause, quitting drinking can help with this task. In mild cases, this can be done easily with the help of family or friends. But when you have been drinking for too long and consuming alcohol excessively, professional rehab can be a good choice to prevent complications caused by withdrawal symptoms. In addition, you can take thiamine and vitamin supplements or add foods or drinks with these elements into the diet. The key is to have a well-balanced and nutritious diet and avoid abusing alcoholic drinks. If you experience any symptoms of malnutrition or malabsorption, immediately inform medical experts to take proper preventive measures. [8]
