Is constipation related to mood?

Being in a bad mood will affect constipation. Generally speaking, depression and anxiety can lead to constipation, but if you improve your mood in time, constipation will get better soon, and generally you don't need medical treatment. But if you are in a state of depression and anxiety for a long time, you can't adjust yourself in time. In the long run, constipation will be aggravated, defecation will be difficult, and the number of defecation will be further reduced. In this case, patients are advised to go to the mental health clinic in time, and if necessary, they need to take antipsychotic drugs for symptomatic treatment, so that their mental mood will be improved, their mood will be relaxed and constipation will be alleviated. If you are too nervous and anxious, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, which will cause constipation symptoms. If you have constipation symptoms, you can eat more foods rich in cellulose and vitamins and avoid stimulating drinks such as strong tea and strong coffee. If the symptoms are not relieved, you can take lactulose under the guidance of a doctor.

In daily life, we should improve constipation by increasing drinking water and dietary fiber, forming the habit of regular defecation and increasing physical exercise. If constipation is serious and there are obvious symptoms such as decreased defecation frequency, difficulty in defecation and dry stool, you can use some laxatives and take prokinetic drugs, such as mosapride, domperidone and itopride.
