Abstract:
The considerable psychiatric comorbidity in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is noted and the concept of depressive spectrum disorder is briefly discussed.

Finally, details of a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Nefazodone in the treatment of patients with IBS, which has recently begun in South Wales, are discussed. (Int J Psych Clin Pract 1997; 1: 73-74).
