Abstract

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by the presence of intestinal disturbances in the absence of structural abnormalities. IBS is one of the diseases that has been frequently associated with psychiatric diseases such as anxiety and depression. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients with IBS using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) survey in patients attending the gastroenterology clinic of the International Clinic of Lima (CILM). Materials and Methods: Descriptive non- comparative study where self-administered surveys were used in the outpatient clinic of the CILM. Microsoft Excel was used for tabulation and STATA version 17 for calculation of absolute and relative frequencies. Results: Sixty-seven patients were included. Sex: female (77.61%), age range 36-45 (56.72%) and variety of IBS symptoms: constipation (55.22%). The prevalence of anxiety was 71.64% while that of depression was 26.87%. Conclusions: Patients with IBS presented a higher prevalence of symptoms compatible with anxiety compared to depression.
