Mental Disorders in Adolescents with Celiac Disease. The abstract is free.
Some interesting quotes-

"Relative to the comparison subjects, the celiac disease patients had
significantly higher lifetime prevalences of major depressive disorder (31%
versus 7%) and disruptive behavior disorders (28% versus 3%). In most cases
these disorders preceded the diagnosis of celiac disease and its treatment
with a gluten-free diet. The prevalence of current mental disorders was
similar in both groups. Celiac disease in adolescents is associated with an
increased prevalence of depressive and disruptive behavioral disorders,
particularly in the phase before diet treatment. "
