Key Takeaways for Clinicians Evaluating Mental Health in IBD Patients
SAIA was proud to host an important talk titled, Navigating Your Mental Health with IBD, earlier this year!
The talk emphasized that HCPs must screen IBD patients for mental health, be aware of the impact of cultural stigma on the mental well-being of diverse populations like the South Asian community & seek to deliver culturally sensitive care.
