Abstract :
Objectives: This review aims to systematically review the existing literature to elucidate the relationship between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and anxiety disorders, identify gaps in current knowledge, and propose directions for future research. Methods: A comprehensive search of relevant databases was conducted to identify studies that met the inclusion criteria. PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase were systematically searched for relevant literature. Rayyan QRCI was employed throughout this comprehensive process. Results: Our results included nine studies with a total of 1,258,591 patients diagnosed with IBS and 407,147 (32.4%) were females. The prevalence of anxiety disorder among IBS patients ranged from 14 (28%) to 88 (83.8%) with a total prevalence of 479,959 (38.1%). All of the included studies stated that IBS patients exhibited a higher rate of anxiety. It is also reported that anxiety worsens the IBS symptoms. Conclusion: This systematic review reported that the prevalence of anxiety disorders is high in IBS patients. It is advised that gastroenterologists and other medical professionals who treat IBS patients observe and evaluate if the patients also have anxiety or depression at the same time and that they take the patient’s psychiatric illness into expert care. It is also advised that doctors who treat patients for depression and anxiety should also evaluate them for IBS. Treatment for the co-occurring gastrointestinal condition may expedite the resolution of the co-occurring psychiatric disorders.
