Have you ever got butterflies in your stomach or heard bad news and felt it in your intestine? For many years, health experts have been admitted on the connection of the brain-gut - the concept that your emotions and your brain activity can influence what is happening with your digestive system. Now, newresearchhas established a link between the intestine and one of the most common mental health conditions: depression.

A new study finds a genetic relationship between stomach ulcers and depression

A new study published in the journalNature Communicationshas established a genetic relationship between stomach ulcers and depression. Specifically, people with psychiatric disorders, including major depression, are more sensitive to peptic ulcer disease.

"Although a causal relationship can be confirmed between major depression disorders and digestion (or vice versa), taking into account clinical implications of a possible relationship is justified," writes researchers in the study. "When treating patients with [major depression], awareness of the symptoms of digestion for [peptic ulcer disease] could help decide whether other interventions are needed."

Professor Naomi WrayandDr. Yeda WuFrom the Institute of Molecular Bioscience believes that their conclusions could promote a more holistic approach to treating the disease. "As a medical student, I noticed how some gastrointestinal symptoms of improved patients after the treatment of psychotherapy or psychiatry," Dr. Wu said in aPress release. "This study linking major depression with increased risk of gastrointestinal disorders also explains the co-morbidity of conditions."

The researchers studied health data of 456,327 people from British Biobank, identifying eight genetic variations associated with the risk of obtaining peptic ulcer disease. "Six of the eight variations may be related to the reason some people are more prone to H. pylori infection, which would make them more likely to peptic ulcer disease," Professor Wray explained.

Professor Wray continued to explain that, while the existing peptic ulcer treatment targets the gene related to one of these genetic variations, the identification of other associated genes could offer opportunities to develop new treatments.
