Mental disorders associated with digestive disorders

Brain symptoms caused by liver disease have been reported frequently since the 1950s. Chinese scholars have also reported on the early stages of hepatic encephalopathy and mental disorders of different liver diseases since 1963. Hepatic encephalopathy, also known as hepatic-brain syndrome, is a syndrome caused by severe liver disease, based on metabolic disorders, and characterized by severe somatic and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Because liver function is closely related to the brain, once liver function is severely impaired, clinical symptoms can occur. The main symptoms of psychiatric symptoms are unconsciousness and coma.
