Efficacy and Safety of Probiotics for Anxiety Depression
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will enroll 60 individuals with mild-to-moderate anxiety depression. Following a 3-month intervention and a 1-month follow-up period, the study aims to: 1) evaluate the efficacy of probiotics by comparing anxiety, depression, and sleep scores to baseline; and 2) investigate the safety and underlying mechanisms by analyzing changes in serum biomarkers, gut microbiota, and related metabolites.
