Effect of antidepressants on Candida albicans. In the section labelled “1” in Figure 3, we can see how Candida albicans, through its metabolic activity, can influence brain neurotransmission. In section “2” of Figure 3, it is shown how antidepressants inhibit the growth of Candida albicans, leading to a reduction in the production of its metabolic products and, as a result, modifying the course of depression.
