ClinConnect Summary

The TIDHI Mental Health in IBD Patients Study is looking to understand how a specific mental health support program called Healing Circuits™ can help individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In this study, participants will be randomly placed into two groups: one group will receive personal support from a social worker, while the other group will follow a self-directed online program using video instructions. Both groups will be evaluated over 12 months to see how well this support helps with their mental health.

To participate, individuals must be between 18 and 75 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of IBD. They should also have mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety or depression, as indicated by specific screening tools. It's important to note that people with serious psychiatric disorders or a recent history of substance abuse may not be eligible. Those who join the study can expect to receive valuable mental health support tailored to their needs, whether in-person or online, while continuing their regular medical care for IBD.
