Abstrak

Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a pathological condition characterized by the reflux of gastric acid into the esophagus, with typical symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation. Psychological disorders are associated with many GERD disorders. The purpose of this paper is to determine the correlation between GERD and psychological disorders, particularly depression and anxiety. Case: In this research study, a 17-year-old female complained of vomiting, nausea, heartburn, shortness of breath, and a bitter taste in the tongue. The patient felt easily fatigued, lacked enthusiasm, and lost interest in activities. Physical examination revealed general weakness, a hyperemic pharynx, and epigastric tenderness. The patient was cooperative, maintained eye contact, but was unable to maintain it, and was in a dysphoric mood and consistent affect. Endoscopy revealed hyperemia of the esophagus and stomach, suggesting chronic active gastritis. Discussion: GERD is a multifactorial disease. In this case, stress and anxiety were linked to GERD. GERD and depression share many similar neurobiological mechanisms, including the "brain-gut" axis, which plays a crucial role in both comorbidities. GERD treatment principles include lifestyle modifications and both medication and non-medication therapies. Conclusion: Chronic GERD, which can occur concurrently with or trigger psychological disorders, is certainly dangerous for patients, and further research is needed to determine effective treatment.
