You probably are missing vital nutrients because your colon is not absorbing them. This in itself can cause depression.
Simple things to settle the crohns disease, never drink from a straw, don't chew gum nicotine can help, avoid MSG, eat several smaller meals, avoid restaurants.
Meditation, Epsom salt bath, proper sleep, get rid of the stresses!
Some things in life do need to be dealt with, anti-depressants won't solve them just will give you a ton of nasty side effects!

I know crohns disease has to do with the gastrointestinal problems. Have you tried DanActive? It helps replenish your stomach flora. I'm not sure if it will help you but it wouldn't hurt to try. As for the depression I have battled that myself. A friend recommended that I try eating turkey and take a good B complex. What do you know it really did help.

Sometimes exercise helps alleviate stress.
