Behavioural problems?

The article explores the emerging field of psychomicrobiotics, highlighting the link between disturbances in the gut microbiota and psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression. Guillaume Fond, psychiatrist and psychiatric researcher, explains that gut bacteria play a crucial role in the development of the central nervous system. Studies have shown that mice raised in sterile conditions, deprived of certain bacteria at birth, develop anxiety disorders, suggesting the influence of the microbiota on the nervous system.

Research into psychomicrobiotics has advanced significantly since 2009, mainly due to technical advances enabling us to study the bacteriological complexity of the intestinal flora. Microbiota disturbances have been associated with chronic inflammatory diseases, and links have been established between microbiota imbalances and psychiatric disorders such as autism, depression and eating disorders.

Psychomicrobiotics could revolutionize the management of psychiatric disorders by providing explanations for their origins and opening up new treatment perspectives. Rather than treating symptoms at a cerebral level, this approach aims to precisely rebalance intestinal flora, potentially through interventions such as probiotics. For the time being, solid scientific evidence needs to be established to support the efficacy of these approaches.

In addition, the article highlights the importance of a balanced diet for mental health. Guillaume Fond recommends focusing on anti-inflammatory foods, rich in fiber and protein, while avoiding saturated fats and the fast sugars of junk food. He suggests that improving diet may be an untapped way of resolving certain psychological problems, highlighting the impact of intestinal inflammation on energy and mood.

In conclusion, research into psychomicrobiotics offers new perspectives in the understanding and treatment of psychological disorders. This information could also be applied to horses, given the similarities in gut physiology and psychological responses.
