Not related to depression but possibly to meds.

I don't know of any one test that can determine imbalances. Maybe you could post a new question on this forum asking if anyone knows of any.  An endocrinologist would be able to determined some imbalances with blood and saliva tests. How old is your Mom? Hormonal imbalances associated with peri-menopause can cause a host of symptoms inclucing anxiety and depression.

This thread caught my eye because I had a wierd experience of itching a few years ago. It was deep under my skin in my abdomen, but not in my stomach. It just went away after a while. It's probably a stretch, but sometimes sensations are hard to identify. What feels like tingling to one person can be like burning to another. Since from what you say it's in the actual stomach could it be from acid? She may have already tried an antacid but if not it probably can't hurt...just a thought.

I just want to add that scratching releases histamines within the body. So sometimes the itching will actually get worse by scratching it. Opiate use also causes itching. Have you tried taking an antihstamine for the itching? Chemical imbalances can cause a host of symptoms and who know if itching isn't one of them. Every body is different.

I have some very unusual and bizar symptoms associated with my depression, but itching was never one of them. Your not taking an Opiate are you? They can cause an under the skin itch.
