Research progress of the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and treatment of bipolar disorder

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and treatment of bipolar disorder， so as to provide a new perspective for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder. The pathogenesis of bipolar disorder remains unclear， while research has identified multiple pathways by which gut microbiota may be involved in the development of bipolar disorder， making it a potential new target for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Therefore， this article reviews recent research advances on the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and treatment of bipolar disorder， thus providing a reference for further research on bipolar disorder.
