Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it's liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. I would like to ask if chronic hepatitis B can lead to depression?Doctor's answer:
This generally will not cause any mental health issues. Some patients may experience symptoms such as liver dysfunction due to their own illness, or symptoms caused by an excess of liver fire in traditional Chinese medicine, leading to certain emotional problems. In such cases, it can usually be managed by taking some liver-soothing medications for regulation. If you have chronic hepatitis B (), it's important to pay attention to rest and avoid spicy, greasy, and heavy foods in your diet.
