Summary
This study looks at whether adding a probiotic (Lactobacillus crispatus) to the antidepressant sertraline helps teens aged 12-18 with major depression feel better. Sixty participants will receive either the probiotic or a placebo with their medication for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the combination reduces depressive symptoms more than medication alone.
