Digestive diseases are closely associated with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, studies have shown that symptoms of mood disorders in most patients with digestive tract diseases often cannot be recognized by doctors by gastroenterologists, and 40–90% of patients with psychological problems do not receive proper medical services and treatment. Functional gastro-intestinal disorders (FSID) have a significant impact on daily activities and quality of life, and cause great economic hardship due to direct medical costs and loss of productivity.
