Gut feelings 2. Mind, mood and gut in inflammatory bowel disease: approaches to psychiatric care.

CONCLUSIONS: IBD is a chronic, debilitating and potentially body integrity altering condition with significant morbidity and a slight increase in mortality. Co-morbidity with anxiety and depression is common. Onset in the younger years can disturb development. Psychotherapy may be most useful for addressing fatigue, pain and assisting with coping. There is a lack of evidence to guide treatment of depression in this population. PMID: 26133813 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
