Anxiety, Depression, and Anger in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders: A Cross-sectional Observational Study

Functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) is a group of diseases characterized by symptoms such as dyspepsia and intestinal motility changes that cannot be explained by the presence of organic abnormalities. Individuals with FGID experience periods of exacerbation and relapse of symptoms (Drossman, 2006a). FGID is a heterogeneous group of diseases that includes dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and constipation (Drossman, 2007). The most common FGID are functional dyspepsia (FD) (14.6%) and IBS (31.7%) (Nakajima et al., 2010).
