Example citation
Gut microbiota alterations in psychiatric disorders are transdiagnostic rather than diagnosis-specific [@nikolova2021].
Key takeaways
- Decrease in “microbial richnes” in psychiatric patients compared to control participants (SMD = -0.26, 95% CI -0.47 to -0.02), but only bipolar disorder was consistent among the individual disorders.
- Transdiagnostic pattern of microbiota signatures rather than disorder specific patterns.
- This reminds me of the p-factor because there, as well, we see shared rather than disorder-specific patterns.
“This systematic review and meta-analysis found that gut microbiota perturbations were associated with a transdiagnostic pattern with a depletion of certain anti-inflammatory butyrate-producing bacteria and an enrichment of pro-inflammatory bacteria in patients with depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and anxiety. ”
