Multi-Strain Function For Gut And Mental Health

Description

How Gut Health and Mental Health are Linked

Mental health issues are widespread across the globe, and statistics have shown that around 15% of people globally have been recorded to suffer from mental health issues. Taking into account those who suffer in silence, the number is most probably much higher.

When talking about mental health problems we refer to conditions that can affect mood, behaviour and thinking. Some examples would be anxiety, depression and addictive behaviour.

In recent times we have come to know the gut as the second brain. The enteric nervous system plays a major part in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract hence the gut. It relies on the same kind of neurons and neurotransmitters that are found in our central nervous system and therefore is heavily interconnected.

This has shown that the health of the gut can affect mental health and vice versa.

Symptoms of bad mental health

• Extreme mood changes
• Anxiety
• depression

Symptoms of bad gut health

• abdominal pains/cramps
• GI disorders IBS, IBD
• Loss of appetite

Reasons behind mental health issues related to the gut

As gut health is intimately connected to mental health, stress, infection or inflammation of the GI tract can be the cause of anxiety, depression or mental stress. These can be due to an imbalance in gut bacteria, as changes in the microbiome of the gut can lead to several problems.

For instance, digestive problems, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating and IBS or IBD and consequently can affect mental health.

Medical Treatments

While medication such as anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are groundbreaking and very helpful there are numerous disadvantages and side effects, such as addiction, weight gain, restlessness and drowsiness. In this case, it’s not the side effects that are the problem it’s more the fact that these medications disregard the health of the gut.

So while your mental health might get better it doesn’t account for gut health. This will lead to taking more medication for symptoms of bad gut health and the cycle starts again.
