Article Synopsis
- The study explores how personality traits, psychological distress, and coping strategies differ in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) compared to healthy controls.
- Findings reveal that patients with active CD experience more psychological issues than those with active UC or controls, including higher levels of neuroticism and maladaptive coping strategies, while patients in remission tend to show fewer psychological impairments.
- The results emphasize the importance of providing psychological support and treatment, especially for patients with active CD, highlighting the unique psychological challenges associated with different types of inflammatory bowel disease.
