[Alcoholism in women--hidden abuse].
While female alcoholism has increased particularly in the younger generation alcohol-related complications are now more frequently observed among older women. It is generally hard to identify an alcohol problem in a woman who tries at all costs to conceal it and often skillfully masks her difficulties. Such women repeatedly seek help from the medical services for diverse symptoms, both psychological and physical.
