Abstract
The mental health of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a growing concern, with data pointing not only to the high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity1 but also to the negative effects of depression and anxiety on disease outcomes. Data consistently show that patients with IBD and comorbid mental health conditions have higher rates of surgery, diagnostic workup, hospitalisations, and corticosteroid use,2 and are less likely to adhere to anti-tumour necrosis factor drugs,3 than patients with IBD and no comorbidities.
