Brief Answer:
Dependence, Observation is required.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
In chronic alcoholic there can be physical and psycological dependence. These features of dependence looks similar to any other mental illness. The symptoms like tremer, sweating, anxiety may be due to physical dependence and rage issues, anxiety even depression may be due to psycological dependence.
For such patients to identify other any mental illness he should be in observation or he should discuss with the psychiatrist.
Most of the patients will improve with detoxification with benzodiazepine drugs and with anti craving medications.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask if any further questions.
Wish you good health.
