No, mental and emotional stress do not cause peptic ulcers; the main causes are infection with the H. pylori bacterium and the long-term use of NSAID pain relievers, like ibuprofen. While stress doesn’t cause ulcers, it can worsen existing symptoms or make a person more prone to developing one by potentially weakening the immune system.
