Hi,

Your depression may be related to your intestinal problems if you have IBS that us Irritable Bowel syndrome. As the name suggests this is due to anxiety and/or stress and such psychological problems. To say this to be IBS one needs to undergo necessary investigations and if all are normal then only we can say this to be due to IBS.

The investigations are as follows:
- Repeated stool tests for 3 consecutive days.
- Test of blood particularly for CBC, thyroid and liver functions.
- Colonoscopy.
- CT scan of abdomen.

If any disease is found during the course of investigations then this can be treated accordingly. If all the investigations are normal then control of your psychological or psychiatric problems by an appropriate specialist can help you to get the results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
