Two way traffic: It is possible that the path between your G.I. symptoms and mood disorder is a two-way street. Therapy that might relieve your depression may reduce or eliminate the reflux and IBS too. Serotonin cells are most prevelent in our gut. That's partly why SSRIs have gut side effects. Seek a psych eval and coordinate the treatments. This may kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone. Best!
