Now taking into account the gut is known as 'The Second Brain' it is thought taking probiotics will help cure depression.

Mind and Stomach
The brain and the gut have a lot in common, including the ways in which nerve cells talk with each other. Neurotransmitters are important chemicals that allow nerve cells to communicate. Serotonin is one of the most important neurotransmitters for that brain in your gut.
Serotonin is important for the functions of your brain and your mood, but it is crucial to the function of your digestive system. Your gut creates 95 percent of the serotonin in your body. Changes in your levels of serotonin and your sensitivity to serotonin signaling can change how your bowel works.
