Beyond mood: the neurobiological rationale for using SSRIs and SNRIs in the care of inflammatory bowel disease and disorders of gut-brain interaction.

This review suggests SSRIs and SNRIs may influence both brain and gut pathways relevant to symptom burden in IBD and DGBI — potentially improving mood, pain, motility, and aspects of inflammation. That could matter for...
