Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome affects the emotional and mental state of patients, their social activity, professional activity and family relationships. 82 patients were selected for the study. Of these, 49 were the diarrhea-dominated type of IBS and 33 were the constipation-dominated type. The average age of patients is 33.2±0.8 years. Mild to moderate levels of depression have been found to dominate the irritable bowel syndrome accompanied by a predominance of diarrhea compared to the type of suppressor with a predominance of constipation. No equally severe levels of depression were found in either group. It can be seen from this that an increase in the number of seizures affects the mental and emotional activity of patients, leading to the appearance of depressed states of varying degrees.
