Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. Your doctor is right. As body and mind are interlinked, any emotional disturbance like stress or depression can easily affect your physical body condition. If your experience stress in your lifestyle, it affects your appetite, digestion quality. This inturn causes stomach or digestion related issues like acidity, ulcer, IBS etc. So it's better to address the root cause than treating the symptoms. Appreciate your decision to take a counseling support to understand and address your issues. Be positive. There are simple and practical stress management techniques that you can adopt which can help you to overcome both the problems. Feel free to reach me online or call or chat through Lybrate for further evaluation of your both physical and mental symptoms to identify the root cause.
