Studies have reported an increased prevalence of depression in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Depression rates have been reported as high as 21.2% in IBD patients compared to 13.4% in healthy controls (1). Addressing depression and improvement in psychological health has been associated with decrease in IBD-related morbidity, reduction in health-care utilization and improvement in quality of life (2). This study evaluated the rate at which gastroenterology providers discussed or documented depression and /or anxiety in IBD patients.
