Study Reveals Taking Antidepressants with Probiotics Significantly Reduces the Symptoms of Depression

  • An imbalanced gut can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health, increasing the risk of conditions like gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, anxiety, stress, and depression. A recent study suggests that patients taking antidepressants may experience improved mental health symptoms by enhancing their gut health with probiotics.
  • The study involved 49 adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder who did not respond fully to prescription antidepressants. Over an eight-week period, participants received antidepressant treatment, with 24 of them also receiving a probiotic supplement containing 14 strains of bacteria, while the others were given a placebo.
  • All participants showed symptom improvements after eight weeks, but those who took probiotics experienced significant improvements starting from the fourth week. The researchers noted that probiotics had a notable impact on reducing depression and anxiety symptoms, with a more pronounced effect on anxiety.
  • James Stone, a senior investigator of the study, emphasized that this research is an important initial step in exploring the therapeutic potential of probiotics as a treatment for depression. The findings pave the way for larger studies to examine the beneficial effects of probiotics on mood and anxiety in larger patient populations.
  • With an estimated 280 million people worldwide suffering from depression, and many not responding fully to antidepressants, the use of probiotics as an adjunctive treatment offers promising possibilities for enhancing mood and mental health. The study highlights the significance of the gut-brain axis in microbiome research and its potential impact on mental well-being.
