Abstract

The association of the gut microbiota with many diseased and healthy state is currently of global interest.  Depression is a disorder that is etiologically heterogeneous. There is a correlation between gut microbiota, immune responses, behaviour and pathophysiology of depression. These shows the link of microbiome and mental health, which point to a possible future of manipulation of gut microbiota for better health. This mini review compiled some existing literature on the relationship between depression and human gut microbiota.
