title: [Representation of psychotropic medicines and alcohol use disorder].
abstract: An elderly person's use of alcohol can conceal undernutrition, cognitive decline due to dementia or depression. Caregivers have an important role to play with these patients in distress. It is necessary to help them regain their self-esteem and to support their will to live to restore the relationship with others.
