Emotional support, a feeling of solidarity and practical advice are just a few of the benefits of becoming part of a community of people affected by PBC.

A U.K. study found that older people with PBC appear to suffer more in terms of symptom burden and quality of life.

Some PBC patients report high levels of mental distress, depression and social isolation as a result of their diagnosis and symptoms.

Measures to manage an often heavy symptom burden in PBC can be proactively taken to support quality of life and mental health.

Accommodations for PBC can include flexible work options, telecommuting, job-sharing, modified job duties, additional leave and more.

In addition to helping your loved one manage PBC symptoms, it is just as important to provide moral and emotional support.
