7. Stress and Depression
Clinical depression will not only cause psychological issues, but it can also wreak havoc to your entire body and could trigger pain in the tummy. Aside from stomach pain, stress and depression can also cause headaches and other digestive problems.
In the most severe cases, depression can also lead to mental health issues and this can further aggravate the patient’s pre-existing conditions, such as IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), which is the most common reason behind abdominal pain. Depression can also lead to loss of appetite and severe loss of weight that could also be the reason behind the patient’s stomach pain and discomfort.
