 "The Effects of Probiotics and Prebiotics on Mental Disorders: A Review on Depression, Anxiety, Alzheimer, and Autism Spectrum Disorders"

"Probiotics and their nutrient sources (prebiotics) have been shown to have positive effects on different organs of the host. The idea of their potential benefits on Central Nervous Systems (CNS) and the incidence of Anxiety, Schizophrenia, Alzheimer, Depression, Autism, and other mental disorders has proposed a new category of medicines called "psychobiotic" which is hoped to be of low-side effect anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and anti-anxiety constitutes." 

"The results of the provided evidence suggest that probiotic and prebiotics might improve mental function via several mechanisms. The beneficial effects of their application in Depression, Anxiety, Alzheimer and autism spectrum diseases have also been supported in clinical studies."

"The role of the gut for overall cognitive function—and vice versa—is so well established that the gut has often been called "the second brain" and is thought to be crucial for emotional wellbeing in addition to digestive health." 

"The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional superhighway of chemical signals sent between the brain and the digestive system, and those messages are vital for supporting your autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system." 

 "You might be making changes for better digestion, but then discover benefits like clearer thinking, feeling calmer, and improving your memory."

"A major example is serotonin, a neurotransmitter that has a range of functions in the body, and is so integral to mood and overall well-being that it's called "the happy chemical." Although it plays a major role in brain function, it's estimated that 90% of your serotonin is made in the digestive tract."

"You simply can't separate the brain from the gut and treat them as two independent units in the body, since they're so connected," says Lisa Mosconi, PhD, author of Brain Food: The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power. What affects one will often affect the other, she adds."
