They include apathy, guilt, hopelessness, changes in body weight, insomnia, and irritability. While these symptoms tend to be the primary focus of treatment, there&#8217;s also a long list of cognitive symptoms, such as difficulty concentrating, indecisiveness, and memory issues.<\/p>\n<p>A new study shows that a popular supplement may help with the cognitive issues associated with depression. This randomized controlled trial including over 40 patients showed that high-dose probiotic supplementation for four weeks significantly enhanced memory and affected brain mechanisms underlying depression-based cognitive issues.<\/p>\n<p>Results showed that people in the probiotic group have improved hippocampal function (the part of the brain in charge of emotion and memory) at the end of the study period.<\/p>\n<p>As lead author Else Schneider, Ph.D., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdlinx.com\/article\/do-probiotics-improve-cognition-heres-what-research-reveals\/3VyEvEcsQtURiQSVUAaMW2\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/www.mdlinx.com\/article\/do-probiotics-improve-cognition-heres-what-research-reveals\/3VyEvEcsQtURiQSVUAaMW2\" rel=\"noopener\">explained in an interview<\/a>: &#8220;It supports our hypothesis that the hippocampus is the main structure that benefits from probiotics, and that&#8217;s why we only see improvement in the episodic memory and not in other cognitive domains, which are less hippocampus-dependent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Symptoms of depression can be debilitating.
