The link between mental wellbeing and physical recovery after liver transplant.

Host Niall McKay speaks with Dr. Sharon Millen, a health psychologist at Queen's University Hospital, Belfast in Northern Ireland. Dr. Millen, a two-time liver transplant recipient, completed her PhD on psychological well-being in liver transplant patients. Her research found a significant link between physical recovery and mental well-being. Niall and Dr. Millen also share their personal experiences with liver transplant, discussing the psychological impact on patients and emphasizing the importance of mental preparation, social support, and counseling. They highlight the challenges faced both before and after transplant, including social isolation, financial difficulties, and post-operative complications.
