“…There have only been 3 studies on the prevalence of manifest psychiatric disorder which have relied on clinical evaluation of consecutive cases (Feldman et al 1967;McKegney et al 1970;Goldberg, 1970). The poorest of these (Feldman et al 1967), using a questionable definition of normality, found that only 2 of 19 Crohn's patients studied had symptoms indicative of psychopathology. The authors thought the Crohn's group healthier than a control population, the composition of which is not described.…”

Two cases of anorexia nervosa who were subsequently found to have Crohn's disease are presented. The difficulties in determining whether they had anorexia nervosa and Crohn's disease concomitantly or whether the Crohn's disease alone was responsible for their condition are discussed without definite conclusion. The importance of excluding occult organic disease before assuming a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa is stressed.

The role of psychosocial factors in the understanding of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been a major area of clinical interest and psychosomatic research. This paper explores the scientific basis for the following contentions: (1) psychosocial factors such as stressful life events are associated with symptom onset and exacerbation; (2) research in brain‐gut peptides and the new fields of psychoimmunology and psychoneuroendocrinology may establish the physiological basis for this clinical observation; (3) while there is no proof for the psychosomatic specificity hypothesis, certain psychodynamic observations, particularly conflicts relating to real or threatened loss and extreme dependency with parental figures, are frequently observed; (4) there is a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders (particularly depression) among patients with Crohn's disease; (5) the psychosocial impact of these disorders may be considerable, yet patient adjustment and perceived quality of life is generally favourable.
