THE EVALUATION OF DEPRESSION AND SOCIAL ANXIETY AMONG CHILDREN WITH CELIAC DISEASE
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 22
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Depression and anxiety levels adult patients with celiac disease (CD) have been investigated and conflicting results have been reported. However, there are limited studies on the association of CD with depression and anxiety in pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of a tendency toward depression and social anxiety in children with CD. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients aged between 8-14 years old and who had a gluten-free diet for at least one year and healthy controls within the same age group were included in this study. All participants were administered the Children Depression Inventory (CDI) and Social Anxiety Scale-Revised (SASC-R). 45 children with celiac disease and 45 healthy children were included in this study. RESULTS: The mean age of the experimental group was 11.6 ± 2.4 years old and 76% were female. The mean age of the control group was 12,0±2.1 years old and 62% were female. No significant differences were found between children with CD and healthy controls in terms of CDI and SASC-R scores. Anxiety levels of the patients whose adherence to the diet was good were found to be higher. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the incidences of depression and social anxiety were not different from healthy children as similar to previous studies in children with CD.
