Hi and welcome.
Well, to confirm Crihns, there should be biopsy taken and these ulcers are suggestive of inflammatory bowel disease such as Crhns or ulcerative colitis. YOu should do MRi scan of abdomen and barium imaging of small bowel for better visualization. Antridepressants daont cause this, these may just help by reducing stress. Wish you good health. Regards
