an add-on probiotic treatment can alleviate depressive symptoms, as measured by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). This improvement is accompanied by changes in both the gut microbiota and brain, underscoring the significance of the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). These findings highlight the potential of microbiota-related treatment approaches as accessible, pragmatic, and non-stigmatizing therapies for individuals with MDD (1).
