Evaluation of depression, anxiety and quality of life in hepatitis C patients who treated with direct acting antiviral agents.

CONCLUSION: Depression got minimally worse in the male group despite an improvement in CHC. Anxiety scores were improved with treatment in the cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic groups significantly. A decrease in anticipatory anxiety may be related to the high treatment success with DAAA. Nearly all the subitems of the QoL scores were improved after treatment and these were more common in the female group. Elimination of HCV may itself decrease the number of patients who need psychiatric treatment. PMID: 31530524 [PubMed - in process]
