Key Words Inflammatory bowel diseases; Fatigue; Depression; Anxiety; Crohn’s disease
Core Tip The study by Morais et al suggested that Crohn’s disease management should move beyond controlling inflammation to addressing overall well-being and holistic healing. Fatigue emerges as a persistent, often overlooked symptom that may continue despite mucosal healing and apparent disease control. It should not be considered a nonspecific or secondary complaint but a clinically meaningful outcome with biological and psychological determinants. The use of appropriate hematologic and psychometric assessment tools enables accurate identification of fatigue and its contributors. Integrating these evaluations into routine practice may support a patient-centered approach and ultimately improve the long-term quality of life of patients with Crohn’s disease.
