Interactions in the gut-brain crosstalk have led to development of an entirely new concept: "microbiota-gut-brain axis". Microbiota has gained considerable attention relation disorders a more neurological nature, such as neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric illnesses like autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, mood disorders.

There is growing scientific concern regarding how endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) impact central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Both anecdotal and preclinical studies suggest a link between EDC exposure major depressive disorder (MDD), potentially leading to neurodegenerative outcomes. EDCs primarily exhibit their biological effects by interacting with hormone receptors. Nonetheless, there evidence pointing dysfunction in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal-adrenal axis, which linked neuropsychiatric conditions. Additionally, global incidence of MDD has risen. Various factors like gender, genetic components, age, hormonal balance, cultural influences may explain differences prevalence. Recently, environmental pollutants such as industrial chemicals, emollients, plastics, fungicides, pesticides have emerged critical influencing this disorder. This review delves into influence key phthalate bisphenol compounds on chronic inflammation MDD.
