Summary

This study tests whether taking a daily probiotic supplement (called psychobiotics) for 12 weeks can reduce depression and anxiety in adults who have both depression and pre-metabolic or metabolic syndrome. About 60 participants in Riyadh will receive either the probiotic or a placebo, and researchers will track changes in mood, waist size, blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. The goal is to see if a simple gut-friendly supplement can improve both mental and physical health.
