For example, aspirin is usually an antipyretic, used to treat headaches, muscle pain and fever, but it can also be used to prevent cardiovascular blockages. In addition to treating anxiety and depression, anti-anxiety/depressants can also be used to treat chronic pain of unknown origin, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, and a variety of other gastrointestinal disorders. Moreover, studies have found that a large proportion of gastrointestinal disorders are associated with insomnia and anxiety/depression. To use a common analogy, gastrointestinal dysfunction is like a problem with an electrical appliance in the home, where the appliance itself is not found to be the problem, but the voltage and wiring are. Repairing the appliance itself is ineffective, what needs to be done is to regulate the voltage and wiring problems. Anti-anxiety/depression drugs actually play a role in regulating the voltage and wiring. That is, they treat gastrointestinal disorders by regulating the neurological functions that manage the stomach and intestines. In many of our cases, after treatment, not only do the gastrointestinal symptoms improve, but the person’s overall health and quality of life improves significantly.
