Alcoholism is one of the biggest factors in liver disease, and a dual diagnosis of alcoholism and mental health problems is very common - it's more than solely a physical illness - so understanding how to support people as they recover from alcoholism is a really important way to help cut liver disease. Mohsen Subhani is a clinical research fellow and a liver disease specialist at NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, and he's the lead author on a newly published study in pulling together research on alcoholism and mental health in a new study. He and fellow researchers used a sample of eleven thousand studies to analyse the complicated interactions between mental health and alcoholism.
