The current outbreak of COVID-19 infection among humans is strongly impacting global physical and mental health. This outbreak can induce or exacerbate some chronic disorders such as functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) due to stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, denial, anger, and fear. The current focus on the physical aspects of COVID-19 infection may distract public attention from the psychosocial consequences of this outbreak. The mental disorders related to this outbreak may develop and extend FGIDs in the long term. FGIDs have a significant impact on daily activities and quality of life and also cause high economic burdens through direct medical costs and loss of productivity. The purpose of this mini-review was to emphasize the critical state of old and new cases of FGIDs during the COVID-19 outbreak. Published English papers about mental health disorders related to the COVID19 outbreak or before the infectious outbreak, stress, and FGIDs were considered and reviewed. We selected articles which were current and had the most relevance to FGIDs, psycho-somatization, and infectious outbreak.
当前人类中爆发的新型冠状病毒肺炎感染正在对全球身心健康产生重大影响。由于压力、焦虑、抑郁、失眠、否认、愤怒和恐惧，此次疫情可能诱发或加重一些慢性疾病，如功能性胃肠疾病（FGIDs）。目前对新型冠状病毒肺炎感染身体方面的关注可能会分散公众对此次疫情社会心理后果的注意力。与此次疫情相关的精神障碍可能会长期发展并加重功能性胃肠疾病。功能性胃肠疾病对日常活动和生活质量有重大影响，还会通过直接医疗费用和生产力损失造成高昂的经济负担。本综述的目的是强调新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间功能性胃肠疾病新老病例的危急状况。我们对已发表的关于与新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情相关或在传染病爆发、压力和功能性胃肠疾病之前的心理健康障碍的英文论文进行了考量和综述。我们挑选了近期的、与功能性胃肠疾病、身心症状和传染病爆发最相关的文章。
