Inflammation of the inner ear (labyrintitis) can cause motion sickness, dizziness, vomiting etc. These symptoms can worsen your emotional life but, basically, they can’t cause depression and anxiety. Your depression and anxiety are probably present from earlier times. Labyrintitis with its symptoms can only make you more anxious and more depressed.

You can take discuss with your doctor about taking Stugeron (cinnarizine) three times per day (3x25mg) for avoiding or calming the symptoms of labyrintitis. Depression and anxiety can be treated with other medications (antidepressants and anxiolitic drugs).
