Primary alcoholism and alcohol psychosis are being diagnosed less frequently in the Nizhny Novgorod region. This is indicated by data published by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
Starting from 2020, the proportion of new alcoholism cases began to rise. From 37 patients per 100,000 people in 2021, it suddenly increased to 50. In 2023, the figure rose to 52.9 cases, and in 2024 to 55.6. However, in 2025, the rate suddenly dropped to 41.2 per 100,000 people.
As the chief editor of "Stacionar-Press," Alexey Nikonov, explained, the improvement in statistics is the result of effective early detection of the disease, control over alcohol sales, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. However, overall in Russia, for the first time in the last five years, an increase in the number of diagnosed cases of "alcoholism" has been recorded. In 2024, such a diagnosis was made for 63.4 thousand people, and in 2025 for 83 thousand patients.
