Abstract in brief

  • The study tested whether taking probiotics like Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium animalis can help prevent psychiatric rehospitalizations in patients recently discharged after mania episodes, showing that those on probiotics were hospitalized less and for fewer days.
  • Results indicated that patients taking probiotics had a significantly longer time before rehospitalization and fewer total hospital stays compared to those on placebo, especially among individuals with higher levels of systemic inflammation.
  • This suggests that probiotic treatment might be particularly effective for reducing relapse risk in manic patients with immune system abnormalities, highlighting a potential link between gut health, inflammation, and mental health relapse prevention.]

Sadece probiyotik verilmiş, oysa diyet değişikliği ile sonuç daha çarpıcı olabilirdi.

If I understand this correctly, probiotics have helped patients with mania who are then less prone to rehospitalization. https://t.co/UQ7PH4aTdb #MMM2019 (Dr Robert H. Yolken)

@chadinabhan @VPrasadMDMPH @statnews @awgaffney @joinClubhouse For decades, the bloating that accompanied bipolar crises was dismissed as "psychosomatic", until someone tried treating the GI symptoms with probiotics and reduced the relapse rate. https://t.co/GRwTvaWtbM
