Re: Does IBS cause Depression?       08/03/07 02:38 PM Edit Reply Quote IBSHell Reged: 05/09/07 Posts: 98 Loc: Connecticut IBS doesn't cause depression or anxiety. The symptoms create those feelings in a lot of us. worrying about leaving the house, worrying about what you're going to eat, feeling in pain all the time can lead to depression and anxiety. As stress and lack of sleep are triggers for a lot of people, some doctors will prescribe low doses of antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication to try to control/minimize ibs symptoms. However, if you feel that you are experiencing consistent anxiety/panic attacks and/or depression that lasts more than a few days and keeps coming back, you should consider seeing a psychiatrist and/or therapist. It often helps to not only have meds, but to have someone to talk to. Hope that helps. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
