Psychiatric Comorbidity in Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases
FY 2014-15
Summary
Multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis are a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID), affecting more than 5% of Canadians. Mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety, are present in many persons with IMID during the course of their disease. Despite this high prevalence, mental health conditions are underdiagnosed and undertreated in persons with IMID. Tools to quickly identify symptoms of depression and anxiety in IMID may improve diagnosis. Health care system use (HCU) is also high in persons with IMID- they are more likely to be hospitalized and see a physician than people in the general population. The current study has two aims: (1) to compare HCU in persons with IMID (with and without mental health conditions) to that of the general population; and (2) to identify the best tools to identify depression and anxiety in persons with IMID. Health data will be used to identify all persons with IMID in Manitoba to accomplish Aim 1, and persons with IMID seen in Manitoba clinics will be recruited to complete Aim 2. Ultimately, we hope to improve the diagnosis and management of IMID and understand the impact of mental health conditions in this population.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis are a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID), affecting more than 5% of Canadians. Mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety, are present in many persons with IMID during the course of their disease. Despite this high prevalence, mental health conditions are underdiagnosed and undertreated in persons with IMID. Tools to quickly identify symptoms of depression and anxiety in IMID may improve diagnosis. Health care system use (HCU) is also high in persons with IMID- they are more likely to be hospitalized and see a physician than people in the general population. The current study has two aims: (1) to compare HCU in persons with IMID (with and without mental health conditions) to that of the general population; and (2) to identify the best tools to identify depression and anxiety in persons with IMID. Health data will be used to identify all persons with IMID in Manitoba to accomplish Aim 1, and persons with IMID seen in Manitoba clinics will be recruited to complete Aim 2. Ultimately, we hope to improve the diagnosis and management of IMID and understand the impact of mental health conditions in this population.
