Cover Story: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most frequently occurring chronic liver disease. NAFLD reflects excess hepatic accumulation of fat in the absence of increased alcohol intake and due to its close association with obesity. In addition to its well-established link with the metabolic syndrome and increased risk for cardiovascular disease, NAFLD has also been associated with certain mental health issues. As such, this review aimed to assess such potential problems faced by patients with NAFLD and to explore the possibility of unmet support needs which could lead to perceived social isolation. Moreover, the importance of a compassionate approach towards such patients is discussed, together with potential coping strategies. Future research directions and the need for a multidisciplinary approach are also highlighted. View this paper
