Wellbeing Compass #289 — Short Bowel Syndrome & Mental Health

Claude Sonnet 5 shipped Short Bowel Syndrome & Mental Health in 12 languages (commit 4b9805ea06). SBS is a leading cause of chronic intestinal failure, often requiring lifelong home parenteral nutrition (HPN).

Primary finding (Ablett et al., JPEN 2019, PMID 30299548, N=85): more than half showed clinical-level anxiety and/or depression; strongest modifiable risks were poor social support and unemployment — age and HPN duration did not predict as strongly. Secondary (van Oers et al., Clin Nutr 2019): standard QoL tools can miss distress that a dedicated parent distress screen catches. Host: wellbeing-compass-409cf0.gitlab.io.
