In reply to Stomach Acid and Anger, posted by Quintal on August 25, 2007, at 16:02:37
Hi Quintal
Stomach acid does not cause anger.It is the other way round.When person is depressed,irritated or angry,there is an excess generation of stomach acid.It is psychosomatic and response to a stress,depression,anxiety etc..I was taking rabeprazole for a long time and still taking.But,before some years i had not heard about anything like mental disorders.But,i had server stomach acidity and i got endoscopy done and i had acid reflux and also inflammation on my intenstine due to acid secretion.The gastroentrologist tried rabeprezole(also,lansoprazole,pentoprazole etc) but,my symptoms did not improve.Then,he asked me whether i had habit of smoking,alcohole etc and i replied in negative.Then,he told me that only reason why i was not responding to the treatment is because it is psychosomatic and he directed me to psychiatrist after that i was diagnosed with dysthymia,GAD and social phobia.Thanks
