Effect of Gut Microbiota on Mental Health
The vagus nerve, which
connects the enteric nervous
system to the brain, is stimulated directly by gut bacteria. Gut
microorganisms influence the structure of sleep and the
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis's response to stress through these several
methods.
A current topic in psychiatry
is the gut microbiota as a potential treatment target for mental disorders. In
the human stomach, trillions of bacteria have been found to play a significant
role in the communication between the gut and the brain by influencing
neurological, immunological, and endocrine pathways.
Evidence linking the gut microbiota to
gastrointestinal and extragastrointestinal illnesses is growing. Anxiety and
sadness, two conditions that are common in today's culture, have been related
to dysbiosis and inflammation of the stomach.
