Can't find a date on this but from what I have read in other places as well there is a growing consensus that there is a connection between celiac disease and depression. There is a lot of info about this out there so I would suggest researching your question. https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/related-conditions/depression/

The connection may be two-fold. First, there is the issue with malabsorption of vitamins and minerals typically found in people with celiac disease that often leads to neurological problems. Second, there is the psych/social impact related to loss of freedom in eating out or eating in the homes of other people. Celiac Disease can be isolating.
