Diarrhea is a common symptom of many digestive disorders, and it has been theorized that psychological factors could be linked to its development. It has been suggested that psychological states such as depression or anxiety can trigger an increase in the body’s stress hormones, leading to inflammation and disruption of normal digestion processes. 

In addition, certain eating patterns like skipping meals or overeating may also contribute to diarrhea due to their effects on the gut microbiome. In order to reduce the risk of developing diarrhea due to psychological causes, it is important to seek professional help for any mental health issues present, maintain healthy eating habits, and practice relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga.
