Can severe depression cause diarrhea? I got diarrhea for about 1-2 weeks and I'm getting kinda anxious about it now. I heard mental illnesses can manifest them and it this case this could be the cause.

see what you are eating and change up your diet
>>
stress and anxiety can cause that, so if you're constantly anxious then yea you'll probably have diarrhea
>>
>>29749708
could be worse
once about 10 years ago i shit myself in a school running tournament
I think it does/might affect it a little
>>29749756 has the right idea

I eat mostly frozen food, but I doubt that this is it. It only really started 1-2 weeks ago when my depression peaked yet again, but I'm afraid it might be something else. I really don't need that right now, man.

it could be either physical or mental but yes.

your gut is known to be heavily connected to your emotional/mental state.

you actually have neurons in your gastrointestinal system and it produces a large amount of the serotonin and dopamine in your body.

on a side note, i've been stressed about my parents finding out that i've been kicked out of school and it's causing my eczema to flair up and my sensitive gag reflex to act up again

so yes, mental state can cause physical problems.
>>

Could be IBS or something similar

>tfw I have diarrhea for 4-5 hours a day every other day

I hate my life
>>
Ok, that kinda relieves me. My reptile brain always assumes the worst, so I thought I might have a virus or a parasite or some shit. But it seems to be related to my depression being on the rise again.
>>
>>29749859
eat some different foods m8, see what happens

For how long if I may ask and did you visit a doc?
>>
>>29750221
I'm 23, this has been happening since I was 18-19

I've been to a doctor, I have IBS on top of an inflamed colon, tried all sorts of medication but nothing has worked yet
>>
>>29749708
>and I'm getting kinda anxious
Being nervous can absolutely cause it.
>>
>>29750129
>not taking immodium every other day and reking ibs
>>
>>29750263
That's one of the worst fears I have desu. What if you're somewhere outside and have to shit, you can't really hold diarrhea back for more than 5 seconds.
