Abstract

A significant proportion of patients worldwide diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) experience comorbid psychiatric conditions, with depression being the most prevalent disorder among them. In Western countries, the prevalence of mental disorders among IBS patients ranges between 40% and 60%. However, in Asian countries, such as India, the rates are even higher, with mental disorder rates exceeding 80% among individuals with IBS. The disease is mostly studied in Western regions and the prevailing focus is on studying IBS from a psychiatric standpoint. Various diagnostic tools are available for diagnosing depression. These include self-report mood scales like the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and interviewer-administered scales like the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD). This paper discusses the manifestation of depression during irritable bowel syndrome and its identification through the BDI and HRSD scales. The advantages and limitations of the scales are also suggested.
