Association between gut microbiota and its functional metabolites with prenatal depression in women

“…Prenatal depression is usually accompanied by multiple signs and symptoms, including low mood, fatigue, insomnia, low energy, forgetfulness, irritability, and poor physical and cognitive function ( Dadi et al, 2020 ). Recently, the prevalence of prenatal depression was reported to range from 19.1% to 40.6% ( Sulley et al, 2023 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ).
