Bipolar disease is a relatively new naming convention for condition whereby the patient suffers from bouts of depression and mania often alternating are cyclical.

Later bipolar disorder became the typical naming convention for a condition that affects many people differently. According to the US National Mental Health Institute, bipolar disorder One may be affecting up to 2.8% of the US population and 4.4% may have suffered from bipolar disorder at some point in their lives.

The researchers tested 66 bipolar patients who had come into the hospital with a manic episode, the patients were randomized and half were given probiotics in a capsule for six months, the others were given a placebo. During the same time, the researchers found that about 50% of the placebo patients required hospitalization during the study, but only a third of that number needed hospitalization in the probiotic group. In other words, the probiotic significantly helped the bipolar patients to the point where there were only a third of the hospitalizations. Those patients who took the probiotics also require Listerine In the placebo group required an average of 8.3 days of hospitalization per stay. Meanwhile, the probiotic group only required an average of 2.8 days of hospitalization. Those who also suffer from systemic inflammation got a significant benefit from the probiotics.
