IBS does bring a lot of downs in your life but if treated the right way at the right way, it may not be a bad thing after all.
Poor quality of life: A study in 2018 reported that 24% of people with irritable bowel syndrome failed to turn up at work because of their symptoms. Around 87% of people experienced a decrease in their work productivity. Thus, people with IBS might have a poor quality of life.
Mood disorders: A study published in 2015 showed that people with IBS increase the chances of them having bipolar disorder, sleep disorder, anxiety, or depression. Anxiety and depression can also make IBS worse.
