Does GERD cause mental health issues?

Ever since my symptoms got worse I’ve noticed that it’s almost like I’m going crazy? Like I haven’t been feeling like myself. I have suffered from anxiety disorders almost all my life (starting at 7) so idk if it’s that. But I’ve been having more existential crisis’ as of late and I’ve been thinking about death more. No I’m not suicidal. But it’s almost like my life is a fever dream and it’s making me paranoid. I may sound crazy but I want to know if GERD is in any way linked to this or if I’m looking in the complete wrong place and it’s most likely something else. I’m not medicated for GERD, so I haven’t exactly been doing all I can to help my symptoms.
