Weird title I know, keep reading it will make sense 😂💩
You have probably heard of all the research into the relationship between the gut microbiota and the brain and mental health blah blah.
Tldr, there's clearly a connection between the trillions of microbes living in our intestines and our brain development, function etc. Just do a Google search on brain-gut axis if you wish to learn more.
Anyways, let's get to the point of the post which is an interesting paper I stumbled upon today. What I found mostly interesting wasn't the results or the findings, just the methodology 🙃
Tldr, they took poop from two groups. One heavily depressed and one healthy. And they transplanted that poop to a bunch of microbiota-deficient rats.
Yep, fecal transplant is a thing if you didn't know :)
Thirty four patients with major depression and 33 matched healthy controls were recruited.
A Fecal Microbiota transplantation was prepared from a sub group of depressed patients and controls and transferred by oral gavage to a microbiota-deficient rat model.
And not surprisingly the rats receiving the depressed poop got depression:
Fecal microbiota transplantation from depressed patients to microbiota-depleted rats can induce behavioural and physiological features characteristic of depression in the recipient animals, including anhedonia and anxiety-like behaviours, as well as alterations in tryptophan metabolism
So yeah, more solid proof for the whole brain - gut thing.
Who knows... Maybe depression is one healthy fecal transplant away from getting treated 🙃💩😂
Yeah probably not 😂

If it works the other way about and I'm depressed I'll stay depressed rather than get a transplant!
Now I understand the Buddhist phrase - happiness is within us.
Lmao.
First you tell us about contagious cancer, and now contagious depression. Washing out hands becomes an even more compelling activity :))
Lmao, you can never be careful enough 😂😂😂💩
shouldn't eat poop, it's bad for you
But putting poop in your butt maybe good!
2 girls 1 Cup we're a head of their time
It's an interesting study, and it proves the microbiome in the gut is essential to our health. In a few years they won't give you Prozac, they'll give you a gut bacteria transplant!

It's a weird study but its interesting to see them feed it to rats. I do think that the sample size is too small though.
Wow, you can pass depression with your poop?
!BBH
!pimp
🙃💩
So we need to smile more when doing number 2 😅 ?

Aha! I sense a lucrative opportunity for a motivated entrepreneur since there are so many downtrodden and depressed individuals

I heard already of that poop planting, they used to do it on humans back in the days, disgusting lol
They sell a lot of integrators to improve microbiote
Thats an ionteresting but weird study
!pimp
yes.. quite the title. :P
As someone who is bipolar and just came off a big depressed period, that is encouraging news indeed. 😉🤙
