The gut microbiota plays a key role in mental health, with growing evidence linking its composition to anxiety and depressive disorders. Research on this topic has expanded significantly recent years. This review explores alterations the of individuals disorders examines potential therapeutic effects probiotics. Background/Objectives: aims analyze evaluate probiotics mitigating symptoms. By examining research, study seeks highlight gut–brain connection implications for health interventions. Materials Methods: A literature search was conducted PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Google Scholar, focusing studies investigating relationship between disorders, as well impact symptom severity. Results: reviewed suggest that often exhibit alterations, including reduced microbial diversity lower abundance short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria. Additionally, probiotics, particularly those from Lactobacillus genus, may help alleviate symptoms by modulating composition. Conclusions: Gut dysbiosis appears be closely linked probiotic interventions could represent promising avenue. However, further research is needed clarify underlying mechanisms optimize treatment strategies.
