Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disease in which gastrointestinal symptoms-primarily abdominal pain or discomfort and abnormal bowel movements persist chronically. For patients with IBS, mental illness, especially depression and/or anxiety, leads to a further lower quality of life. The purpose of this case study was to investigate the effects of mirtazapine (MIR) on mental health and IBS symptoms in a case of IBS accompanied by anxiety and a depressive state. This case report suggests that MIR is efficacious for the treatment of IBS with predominant diarrhea accompanied by depression and anxiety.
