Summary

This study aims to investigate the etiology of anxiety, depression, and panic disorders, providing new evidence and insights into the root causes and effective treatments, potentially offering a novel approach to achieving complete recovery.

Conditions

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

H pylori stool test

Participants will provide a stool sample for noninvasive testing to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria. The test will be performed using a validated laboratory assay that identifies H. pylori antigens in stool. Results will be used to assess potential associations between H. pylori infection, gut microbiome composition, and symptoms of anxiety or depression. The test is diagnostic only and does not involve administration of any drug or treatment.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Bacterial stool analysis

Participants will provide stool samples for microbiome sequencing using a validated laboratory assay. The analysis will characterize bacterial taxa within the gut microbiome and identify potential pathogenic species. Sequencing results will be correlated with psychological assessments and clinical measures to investigate relationships between gut microbial composition and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic disorder.
