See health provider: Feelings of anger, denial, and depression can occur after learning you have a chronic health condition. The good news is that there are many treatments for ulcerative colitis and a gastroenterologist can help with the appropriate treatment. Seeing a counselor or psychologist for those having difficulty with adjusting to the diagnosis may also be helpful. Good luck.

Get help: For your brother. If he is on steeroids, that may contribute to his mood changes. He needs to get in touch with a psychologist or psychiatrist and also needs to discuss his situation with the doc managing his colitis meds. He can be helped. Be persistent.
