Steroid-induced Mood Changes in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Summary

Steroid is commonly used to treat autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis). However, its use is associated with numerous systemic side-effects, including diabetes, osteoporosis, and potentially significant mood changes. The investigators wish to determine how common patients with inflammatory bowel disease experience mood changes when they take steroid for their disease.
