[Mental disorders in patients with chronic hepatitis].
51 patients with chronic hepatitis were examined clinicopsychopathologically for depression, anxiety, self-estimation, cognitive defects. Non-psychotic mental disorders were found in all the examinees: 15 had asthenia, 36 had asthenia and affective disturbances (astheno-depressive, anxious-depressive, anxious-hypochondriac, hystero-depressive). A correlation exists between psychic disorders, severity of chronic hepatitis, premorbid personality traits and efficacy of therapy. Psychiatrist's observation is needed for early detection and treatment of the above disorders.
