Gut microbiome and psychiatric disorders
Kazi Farhana Afroz, Mirko Manchia
Abstract
Several pieces of evidence show that gut microbiota can impact psychiatric disorders. However, no mechanism behind the relationship has been identified. Host genetics and their diets have a significant impact on the gut microbiota. More advanced studies are needed to find the mechanism and develop new therapeutic strategies.
