Heart Food for the bipolar:
Hi,

This research shows that Probiotics can improve mood and lower anxiety.

http://www.landesbioscience.com/jour...article/16108/

Beneficial psychological effects of a probiotic formulation (Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 and Bifidobacterium longum R0175) in healthy human volunteers

Quote:
In a recent clinical study, we demonstrated in the general population that Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 and Bifidobacterium longum R0175 (PF) taken in combination for 30 days decreased the global scores of hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADs), and the global severity index of the Hopkins symptoms checklist (HSCL-90), due to the decrease of the sub-scores of somatization, depression and anger-hostility spheres.

Therefore, oral intake of PF showed beneficial effects on anxiety and depression related behaviors in human volunteers.
