Regular probiotic intake can ease the symptoms of depression

India TV News  

If you take probiotics daily, which are very well known to be good for your digestive system, then it might help easing your symptoms of depression as well. The study has also revealed that adults with irritable bowel syndrome noticed improvement in their depression symptoms when they took probiotics. This opens new avenues not only for the treatment of patients with functional bowel disorders but also for patients with primary psychiatric diseases," said Premysl Bercik, Associate Professor at McMaster University in Canada. At six weeks, 14 of 22, or 64 per cent of the patients taking the probiotic had decreased depression scores, compared to seven of 22 of the patients given placebo. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed that the improvement in depression scores was associated with changes in multiple brain areas involved in mood control, the researchers noted.
