It could, because if you were defecating all the time, it could be pretty embarrassing, in fact; an accident would make it even more embarrassing, and therefore cause depression. It may even cause you to develop agoraphobia or social anxiety associated with your problem of going all the time.

IBS has a high correlation with depression. However it is kind of a which came first thing. The intestines have a lot of nerves that are regulated by the same neurotransmitters that have to do with depression. IBS also seems to go along with stress in many people. Both a psychiatrist and gastroenterologist would be helpful with the treatment of IBS and depression. This is a treatable illness.
