The role of the microbiome on Mood

In a meta-analysis covering 16 studies, dietary intervention led to a significant improvement in mood . Notably, a 12-week dietary intervention using a modified Mediterranean diet to target
MDD ( major depressive disorder ) in adults, has shown convincingly that diet can be effective in alleviating MDD symptoms.


The microbiome plays an important role in resilience to stress.
Apart from dietary interventions, treatments meant to alter the composition of the microbiome can be split into two categories: prebiotics and probiotics.

Prebiotics are defined as foods that are not digestible by humans (such as fibers) and that have a beneficial effect on the host’s microbiome.Probiotics are live microbes that have a beneficial effect on the host .When both pre- and probiotics are coadministered, which happens increasingly, the term synbiotic is used. Microbiome interventions specifically designed to improve mental health are termed psychobiotics.It should be noted that psychobiotics do not necessarily have to target a clinical population but may also be intended for general use. Indeed, numerous studies are available reporting the beneficial effects of specific probiotics on mood.
