The patients with chronic viral hepatitis tend to fall in an unstable mental state in the long-term follow-up period because of its low healing rate. In addition, the appearance of neuropsychiatric symptoms induced by interferons as the treatment for chronic viral hepatitis is becoming an important issue in IFN-associated adverse reactions. In the present study, to understand and analyze the psychological state in patients with chronic liver disease, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was performed in 39 patients with chronic liver disease, 28 diabetic and 18 healthy subjects. It was revealed that patients with chronic liver disease were more neurotic, depressive and hypochondriac than diabetic and healthy people and that the disturbed neuropsychological state was observed more frequently in patients with liver cirrhosis than those with chronic hepatitis.
