HELP... I have been diagnosed with Crohn's / Ulcerative Colitis María Isabel Comeche Moreno

Most of the authors agree in attributing a multicausal etiology of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, which has motivated the interest to determine what psychological factors could be influencing its development, course and treatment. These illnesses entail high suffering and a decrease in the quality of life of the people who suffer them, being associated, in most cases, with anxiety-depressive disorders as a consequence of them. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is considered to be of proven efficacy and constitutes one of the first-line therapies for the treatment of anxiety-depressive disorders, both individually and in groups. The psychological treatment program for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases "HELP ... I have been diagnosed with Crohn's / Ulcerative Colitis" has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety-depressive symptoms that are generated as a consequence of the disease, reducing its negative impact on quality of life and increasing patient satisfaction.
