i think I have posted many time on probiotic and their effects on mood. I thought I would post a lighter article before the next provoking one just for a change in the flow. This is nice and succinct.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150414083718.htm. Having said this-many things effect mood and depression. In fact this past year I have interacted with several patients having profoundly positive effects with herbal and supplemental medicines and their moods. This last week a patient dropped her medicine (with ehr prescribing dr of course) because she felt the herbs worked far better. I think increasingly, research is proving the immense effect of the condition of the gut on the mind.
