I have h. Pylori and undergoing treatment I want to know do h. Pylori causes depression anxiety sinus etc.

Question

Hello Lybrate-user A number of studies do suggest that there is a relationship between the H.Pylori and cognitive impairment but the fact need to elicited with a larger number of population survey. There are plenty of other factors too that needs an involvement to lead to depression and anxiety. Kindly continue your medications and avoid taking stress. Avoid excess acidity formation, drink plenty of water, eat your meals on time and regularly, avoid binge eating, take mini meals and if you are in a constant stress, then try to distract yourself by joining yoga, exercise or a regular walk. Take healthy balanced diet rich in green leafy vegetables, probiotics, honey, broccoli etc as they tend to reduce the gastric inflammation. You must consult a good homoeopathic doctor near by for further analysis of your case as homoeopathy has shown good results in it.

There is no direct evidence linking H pylori with anxiety or depression, but any chronic gastritis can cause depression and anxiety can increase gastric secretions leading to more suitable environment for H pylori infection. Hope this info helps.
