Reply to New research establishes a link between irritable bowel syndrome and mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation by thebelsnickle1991

Don't love the title here, the connection between IBS and mental health has been understood for a while, it's even been in the treatment guidelines (Rome) since like 2015. This may be a slight refinement or deeper characterization (as most research is), but the title implies some sort of revelation when it clearly is not

Reply to comment by Brainsonastick in Study: Repeated psychological stress is linked with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-like symptoms by rustoo

I'd strongly suspect it would hold. For several years now, the treatment guidelines (specifically Rome IV) call for talk therapy and antidepressants as first-line treatment for IBS. I think this paper is just fleshing out the edges of what we already know.
