A member asked:

Hep C: This is probably not a direct effect of the Hep C although there may be a small component. Knowing that you have Hep C is probably more anxiety and depression inducing than the Hep C itself.

Seek out therapist: I'm not so clear on the Hep C actually bringing on the psychological symptom of anxiety per the disease itself or per the worry associated with having the disease, its treatments, prognosis in your case, etc. etc. I think you need a therapist to discuss the how the knowledge of having Hep C may be affecting you.
