Diet has been linked with the risk of developing depression and anxiety; there are direct effects from dietary components which could mediate this relation. Emerging research suggests that the gut microbiota is also associated with depression and anxiety in a bidirectional relation. Because diet also has a large influence on gut microbiota, the gut microbiota should be considered a key variable in the diet–depression relation.
