Mental Health and Your liver 😘
肝臟具有多種不同的功能，所有這些功能都會影響大腦健康。 例如，肝臟對於代謝藥物、酒精和毒素至關重要，並清除身體（以及大腦）中的有毒物質。
肝臟還以糖原的形式儲存能量，糖原分解成葡萄糖（糖）作為能量。 大腦需要身體 20% 的葡萄糖供應才能發揮作用。 此外，肝臟還產生和調節不同的維生素、礦物質和血液製品，這些對於大腦和神經系統的健康運作至關重要。
考慮到這一點，了解與肝臟健康相關的五個心理健康因素非常重要：
情緒😭😊😂🥰
抑鬱和焦慮是兩個嚴重影響一個人生活質量的心理健康指標。 我們知道，患有肝病的人患抑鬱症的機率至少是沒有肝病的人的三倍。
具體而言，高達 17% 的肝病人群患有抑鬱症 1，而普通人群中這一比例為 5%2。 在肝病中，精力不足、疲勞、就業狀況和功能的變化以及娛樂活動的變化等因素可能會導致抑鬱。
抑鬱症的兩個主要症狀是兩週或更長時間持續情緒低落（即整天、每天），以及無法享受愉快的活動。 其他需要注意的重要症狀包括動力不足、絕望或無助感、社交退縮、死亡願望和自殺念頭。 疲勞、食慾變化、睡眠變化和注意力不集中等症狀往往與肝病和抑鬱症重疊。 抑鬱症可以由您的家庭醫生或心理健康專家診斷。 它可以通過療法或抗抑鬱藥物或兩者的組合來治療。
治療抑鬱症可以改善與朋友和家人的社交聯繫，使一個人從他們的支持網絡中獲得精神和身體上的好處。 治療抑鬱症還可以改善情緒和動力，進而改善對治療建議和健康生活方式的堅持。 這有助於維持更健康的肝臟。
B. 創傷🤭😅✨😀🥺🥵😏😳
“創傷”一詞是指任何經歷過或觀察到的危及生命的事件。 這包括複雜的住院、手術或入住 ICU。 大多數人在創傷後恢復正常功能； 大約 6% 的人患有創傷後應激障礙 (PTSD)。 在丙型肝炎 HCV 患者中，這一數字躍升至 19%3，在酒精相關肝病（特別是酒精性肝炎）患者中，這一數字躍升至 34%4。
相反的情況也可能成立，患有創傷後應激障礙的人感染丙型肝炎病毒的可能性是沒有創傷後應激障礙的人的三倍。 這可能是因為患有創傷後應激障礙的人更有可能從事可能導致丙型肝炎的行為（例如共用吸毒針頭和無保護的性行為），這使他們感染丙型肝炎病毒的風險更高。
關於創傷對我們健康的影響可以說很多。 創傷會增加焦慮水平，並使身體和大腦持續處於戰鬥或逃跑模式。 這會提高應激激素的水平，從而對大腦和肝臟等器官產生負面影響。 未經治療的創傷後應激障礙會導致一個人感到煩躁、容易生氣、行為衝動、感覺與他人脫節、整體情緒低落、睡眠和注意力不集中。
這可能會對日常生活造成很大的干擾，讓人們感到與親人疏遠，並想知道他們出了什麼問題。 創傷經歷有時會造成尋求醫療護理或尋求幫助的障礙。 認識創傷症狀的本質有助於獲得適當的心理健康資源。
通過心理治療和/或藥物對 PTSD 症狀進行充分管理，可以減少其對身心健康的負面影響，並改善整體健康。
C. 認識❤️💀🥵😏😳
認知一詞是指一個人的記憶力、注意力、專注力以及計劃和執行任務的能力。 認知健康直接受肝臟健康影響。 肝臟疾病中毒素的積累可能與大腦中的化學紊亂有關，從而導致健忘、注意力不集中、精神錯亂和行為障礙，通常被稱為肝性腦病 (HE)。
HE 可能被誤認為是癡呆、抑鬱症、精神病或註意力缺陷多動障礙 (ADHD)。 一般來說，認知健康可以通過均衡飲食、適度運動、充足睡眠以及戒毒戒酒來維持。 在肝臟疾病中，除了按處方服用所需藥物外，這些方法對於預防 HE 發作和保持良好的肝臟和大腦健康至關重要。
D. 酒精🥵
最近的數據表明，無論多少酒精對大腦都是安全的6。 過量飲酒會損害任何器官系統，包括肝臟和大腦。
長期飲酒的常見心理健康後果包括成癮、失眠、焦慮、抑鬱和癡呆。 保持低於建議的限度並在需要時戒酒，可以保護大腦、肝臟和其他器官免受酒精的毒性作用。
E. 睡覺🤭😅✨😀🥺🥵
健康的睡眠可以促進良好的心理健康，而睡眠不足會讓人面臨焦慮、情緒低落和注意力不集中的風險（所有這些都可能已經成為肝臟疾病的問題）。 在肝臟疾病中，睡眠-覺醒週期的逆轉可能標誌著 HE 的開始和肝功能下降。 健康的睡眠衛生習慣包括保持規律的睡眠模式，盡量減少干擾，盡量減少使用影響睡眠的物質（例如酒精、苯二氮卓類藥物），盡量減少睡前使用屏幕，以及避免在床上醒來超過 20 分鐘。 遵循這些簡單的技巧有助於促進健康的睡眠數量和質量，並有助於保持健康的身體節律。
綜上所述，我們的身體系統都是相互關聯的，我們的身心健康關係密切相關。 肝臟也不例外。 通過健康的生活方式和充分管理任何精神症狀來保持良好的心理健康，可以對維持肝臟健康和生活質量大有幫助。

The liver has several different functions, all of which can affect brain health. For example, the liver is essential in metabolizing drugs, alcohol, and toxins and cleanses the body (and therefore brain) of toxic substances.
The liver also stores energy, in the form of glycogen, which is broken down into glucose (sugar) for energy. The brain requires 20% of the body’s glucose supply to function. Additionally, the liver produces and regulates different vitamins, minerals, and blood products that are essential in the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system.
With this in mind, it’s important to be in the know of the five mental health factors that are related to liver health:
Mood🤭😅
Depression and anxiety are two mental health indicators that significantly impact a person’s quality of life. We know that depressive disorders are at least three times more common in people with liver disease than those without.
Specifically, up to 17% of the liver disease population suffer from depression1, versus 5% of the general population2. In liver disease, factors such as low energy, fatigue, changes in employment status and functionality, and changes in recreational activities may contribute to depression.
The two primary signs of depression are sustained low mood (i.e., all day, every day) for two weeks or more, and the inability to enjoy pleasurable activities. Other important symptoms to watch for include low motivation, sense of hopelessness or helplessness, social withdrawal, death wishes, and suicidal thoughts. The symptoms of fatigue, appetite changes, sleep changes, and trouble concentrating tend to overlap both with liver disease and depression. Depression can be diagnosed by your family doctor or by a mental health professional. It is treated with either therapy or antidepressant medications, or a combination of both.
Treating depression improves social connection with friends and family, allowing a person to benefit mentally and physically from their support network. Treating depression also improves mood and motivation and in turn adherence to treatment recommendations and healthy lifestyle behaviours. This contributes to maintaining a healthier liver.
Trauma✨
The term ‘trauma’ refers to any experienced or observed life-threatening event. This includes complicated hospitalizations, surgeries, or ICU admissions. Most people resume normal functioning after trauma; about 6% develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This number jumps to 19%3 in those living with Hepatitis C HCV and 34% in people with alcohol-related liver disease (specifically alcoholic hepatitis) 4.
The opposite can also be true, where people with PTSD are three times more likely to be infected with the hepatitis C virus that those without PTSD. This may be because those with PTSD are more likely to engage in behaviours that can lead to hepatitis C (such as sharing drug needles and having unprotected sex), which puts them at higher risk of being infected by the hepatitis C virus.
Much can be said about the effects of trauma on our health. Trauma increases anxiety levels and keeps the body and brain constantly in a fight or flight mode. This raises the levels of stress hormones which negatively impacts organs including the brain and liver. Untreated PTSD causes a person to feel irritable and easily angered, to behave impulsively, to feel disconnected from others, and to have an overall lower mood with poor sleep and concentration.
This can be very disruptive to daily life and leaves people feeling alienated from loved ones and wondering what is wrong with them. Traumatic experiences sometimes create barriers to seeking medical attention or asking for help. Recognizing trauma symptoms for what they are promotes access to the appropriate mental health resources.
Adequate management of PTSD symptoms, through psychotherapy and/or medications, reduces its negative impact on mental and physical health and improves overall wellbeing.
Cognition 🥺🥵
The term cognition refers to one’s memory, attention, concentration, and ability to plan and execute tasks. Cognitive health is directly affected by liver health. The accumulation of toxins, in liver disease, can be associated with chemical disturbances in the brain which lead to forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, confusion, and behavioural disturbance, and is typically known as hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
HE can be mistaken for dementia, depression, psychosis, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In general, cognitive health is maintained through a balanced diet, moderate exercise, adequate sleep, and refraining from drugs and alcohol. In liver disease, these methods, in addition to taking the required medication as prescribed, are essential in preventing episodes of HE and maintaining good liver and brain health.
Alcohol 🥺🥵
Recent data show that no amount of alcohol is safe for the brain6. Excessive alcohol use can damage any organ system, including the liver and the brain.
Common mental health consequences of chronic alcohol use include addiction, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and dementia. Remaining below the recommended limits and abstaining, if needed, protects the brain, liver, and remaining organs from the toxic effects of alcohol.
Sleep ❤️💋😉
Healthy sleep promotes good mental health and poor sleep puts people at risk for anxiety, lower mood, and concentration difficulties (all of which might already be problematic in liver disease). In liver disease, a reversed sleep-wake cycle might signal the start of HE and decline in liver function. Healthy sleep hygiene habits include maintaining a regular sleep pattern with minimal interruptions, minimizing the use of substances that affect sleep (Eg. Alcohol, benzodiazepines), minimizing the use of screens at bedtime, and avoiding being awake in bed for longer than 20 minutes. Following these simple hacks helps promote healthy quantity and quality of sleep and helps maintain healthy bodily rhythms.
In summary, our bodily systems are all interconnected, and the relationship between our mental and physical health is closely related. The liver is no exception to this. Maintaining good mental health through healthy lifestyle behaviours and adequately managing any psychiatric symptoms can go a long way in maintaining liver health and quality of life.
