Probiotics: help the gut flora. The gut is sometimes called the "second brain." Yes, they can help w/mood, immunity, etc. Please see a mental health professional if your anxiety or depression needs treatment but for milder cases probiotics can help. Peace and good health. Doctor Ohira is a good brand.
