Psychiatric disorders before and after inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis: a nationwide cohort study in Sweden 2007-2023.

Psychiatric disorders (especially depression, anxiety, and substance misuse) are more common in people with IBD starting a few years before diagnosis and remaining higher for years after. Recognizing this link can help...
