Abstract:
The clinical practice of adding antidepressant drugs to the therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in addition to the standard drug regimen is not yet well established. This study aims to establish if there is an association between H. pylori gastritis and depression and to further analyze the therapeutic effect of antidepressants on symptomatic relief in gastritis. A systematic review was done using articles collected within the last seven years without regional or language localization obtained using PubMed, PubMed Central® (PMC), Google Scholar, and the Cochrane controlled trials. The search terms included Helicobacter pylori, depression, functional dyspepsia, and antidepressants. We selected three randomized controlled trials (RCTs), eight cross-sectional studies, four prospective studies, one cohort study, and two review articles. Trials that were prescribed antidepressants for clinical improvement of dyspepsia in patients with H. pylori gastritis that showed no improvement after eradication therapy standard regimen were included. In conclusion, patients who showed no improvement in functional dyspepsia after H. pylori eradication were seen to improve on antidepressant therapy. Further investigation and studies to analyze this correlation are recommended.

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
