Abstract
In an analysis of data from a study of patients and a population-based study of individuals with these diagnoses, we found 2-fold more patients to receive a diagnosis of a mood or anxiety disorder before an FGID, but equal proportions of individuals in the population to be diagnosed with the mood or anxiety disorder before versus after an FGID. Among patients, the mood or anxiety disorder was on average diagnosed more than 3 years before the FGID, offering opportunity for prevention. Our findings support a role for adverse socioeconomic factors in development of FGIDs in patients with psychological disorders.
