Correlates of depression in new onset pediatric inflammatory bowel disease

Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 1994 Summer;24(4):275-83. doi: 10.1007/BF02353203.

Abstract

Of thirty six children with new-onset inflammatory bowel disease given a Kiddie-SADS interview, five children were depressed and ten had some depressive symptoms. Depressed children had less severe illness, and were more likely to have a maternal history of depression, more life events, and families characterized by less cohesion and more conflict.
