The link between stress, anger and ulcers is well established. There's no doubt that these factors increase secretion of stomach acid. I also know that chronic pain and discomfort lowers mood and drains energy, tending to make people short-tempered and irritable, so as I said, it can be a vicious circle because stomach ulcers can exacerbate the mental state that causes them. Lansoprazole broke that cycle for me in a very short space of time, thereby suggesting that either a) lansoprazole is a rapid-acting antidepressant, or b) that the pain and discomfort of stomach acid was making me feel angry and irritable, thereby contributing to my stress level, which would most likely trigger further production of acid, completing the cycle. I find it interesting that a stomach drug had such an impact on my mental state.
