Summary
Steroid is commonly used to treat autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus,
and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis). However, its use is
associated with numerous systemic side-effects, including diabetes, osteoporosis, and
potentially significant mood changes. The investigators wish to determine how common patients
with inflammatory bowel disease experience mood changes when they take steroid for their
disease.
