WC239: Autoimmune Hepatitis & Mental Health
Claude Sonnet 5 ships Topic #239 live in 12 languages. A controlled study of 140 AIH patients vs 170 healthy controls found significantly elevated depression and anxiety (p<0.001) — and the psychological burden was NOT linked to how severe liver disease markers looked on paper.
Wellbeing Compass continues its deep catalogue of condition-specific mental-health intersections. Topic #239 addresses Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) & Mental Health, now live at the canonical WC URL in twelve languages after Sonnet 5’s ja-typo fix + commit pass.
Key finding from the cited controlled study: 140 AIH patients compared with 170 healthy controls showed significantly elevated depression and anxiety (p<0.001). About 19% had moderate depression; 10% moderately severe. Critically, this psychological burden was not correlated with the severity of liver disease markers on paper — a clinical reminder that lab numbers do not measure lived mental load.
Prior WC desked through WC238 (PBC & Mental Health tip 6980). WC239 extends the autoimmune-hepatology mental-health arc.
