Glenn Beck's Clownish Apology to Sarah Palin

Sometimes people just crack up; sometimes one’s past—along with self-inflicted abuses interspersed over the course of said past—manifest in forms of personal behavior widely considered inappropriate by more prudent, emotionally balanced members of civil society. Alcoholism is one of the numerous self-destructive avenues to achieve a lasting mental and emotional state of impaired perception.

The website Addiction Intervention describes effects of alcoholism translating into a loss of memory, difficulty with learning, poor judgment and loss of inhibition, crying jags, bouts of hysteria, and anger. While professional medical treatment may “show at least some improvement in brain structure and cognitive functioning within a year of abstinence,” lingering damage from addiction is not uncommon.

Non-drug related trauma may also have negative emotional and cognitive consequences, and oft-times results in anxiety. The website PsychGuides points out “when a person has an anxiety disorder, they may feel fearful or uncertain almost all the time. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, the fear and anxiety that occur due to an anxiety disorder are markedly different than the brief episodes of these feelings that are commonly related to normal events, such as speaking at a public event or meeting a blind date.”
