Background:Functional gastrointestinal disorders(FGIDs)is a common disease of digestive system which severely affects the quality of life. Recently,more and more attentions have been paid to the relationship between FGIDs and psychological factors. Aims:To investigate the relationship between FGIDs and psychological factors and related treatment. Methods:A total of 270 patients with FGIDs admitted from Sept. 2013 to Sept. 2014 at Anhui No. 2 Province People’s Hospital were enrolled. Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)were used to evaluate the mental state of patients,and symptom severity of digestive system was scored. Patients with psychological abnormalities received conventional therapy to relieve digestive symptoms,and those who failed from conventional therapy were assigned into refractory group and others were assigned into response group. Patients in refractory group were further divided into conventional therapy group and combined therapy group for receiving paroxetine in addition to conventional therapy. Results:The rates of anxiety and depression were 61. 5%(166 / 270)and 57. 0%(154 / 270),respectively. The scores of HAMA and HAMD were positively correlated with the score of digestive symptoms(r = 0. 585,P < 0. 01;r = 0. 584,P <0. 01)in patients with anxiety and depression in response group. The scores of HAMA,HAMD and digestive symptoms in response group after conventional therapy were significantly decreased(P < 0. 05),while the scores of HAMA and HAMD in refractory group after therapy were significantly higher than those in response group before therapy(P < 0. 05). The scores of HAMA,HAMD and digestive symptoms in combined therapy group were significantly lower than those in conventional therapy group(P < 0. 05). Conclusions:Relationship is found between FGIDs and psychological factors,and antidepressants might contribute to the amelioration of symptoms of FGIDs.
