Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Depression in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease is increasingly recognized to be a heterogeneous condition with diverse underlying predisposing and precipitating factors. Although there is a growing awareness regarding the benefits of integrating behavioral health into medical care, the way psychiatric treatments can best target different aspects of depression and related dysfunction has not been systematically explored. RECENT FINDINGS: This review discusses neurobiological risk factors for depression in inflammatory bowel disease including inflammation, associated anti-inflammatory treatment with corticosteroids, pain, and sleep disturbance, as well as psychosocial factors including reactions to illness, illness perception, and disease and environmental stressors with an emphasis on how these factors can influence treatment decisions. Empirically supported psychosocial and psychopharmacological interventions are discussed within this context. SUMMARY: Understanding the diverse pathways that can lead to depression in youths with inflammatory bowel disease can lead to the development of more targeted interventions and better integration of psychosocial care into the medical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
