The diagnosis involves clinical data, endoscopic and radiological findings. The incurability of the disease and its symptoms can cause patients to develop psychiatric disorders due to the uncertain future, causing anguish and suffering, these expectations about the condition directly reflect on the anxiety, depression and quality of life of patients with CD. Not treating the psychological symptoms associated with CD results in a significant worsening of the patient's clinical condition, considerably affecting his quality of life. Final considerations: The importance of the multidisciplinary team in the approach and treatment of patients with this pathology is reinforced, with the objective of guaranteeing the psychological assistance of the affected, thus improving the prognosis and quality of life of these patients.
