New podcast ‘Gutcast’ launches to support IBD community during COVID-19

Mental health is a growing concern for those living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with existing high levels of stress and anxiety compounded by COVID-19  

A new podcast ‘Gutcast’ has been launched by the Irish Society for Colitis and Crohn’s Disease (ISCC) in partnership with Janssen Sciences Ireland UC in response to national research that shows the extent of mental health concerns among those living with IBD and the need for accessible supports for stress, anxiety and depression, all of which are being compounded by COVID-19.
