India is one of the highest tuberculosis burden countries in the world. Tuberculosis has an impact on physical, mental and social well being of patients as well as caregivers. The physical disabilities resulting from tuberculosis have been extensively researched, but there is a gap in knowledge about its psychological impact. Available studies have shown a very high burden of psychological disorders in patients with tuberculosis. The national tuberculosis elimination program has made huge strides in treatment success, but there are lacunae in recognition and management of the associated psychological disorders. This narrative review aims to understand the burden and causes of psychological disorders in tuberculosis, as well as strategies for early identification by treating physician and treatment for the same.
印度是全球结核病负担最高的国家之一。结核病不仅会影响患者及其照护者的身心健康和社会福利，还会导致身体残疾。人们对结核病导致的身体残疾进行了广泛研究，但对其心理影响的了解还存在空白。现有研究表明，结核病患者的心理障碍负担非常沉重。国家结核病消除计划在治疗成功率方面取得了巨大进展，但在识别和管理相关心理障碍方面仍存在不足。本叙述性综述旨在了解结核病患者心理障碍的负担和原因，以及治疗医生早期识别和治疗这些障碍的策略。
