Treat both: Pain can contribute to depression and particularly chronic pain. The reverse is true also, depression can manifest in bodily pain and make pains less tolerable and more pronounced. It is important to see a doctor to understand the underlying causes of the stomach pain and treat accordingly. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms of depression to see if therapy and/or medications wold be best.

POSSIBLY: Chronic pain of any sort can lead to fear and anxiety and then over time possibly cross over into depression. There is clinical depression that is an illness and there is the emotion of depression that is transient. So not sure which you mean. A lot of causes for stomach pain so write down symptoms and see your physician.
