| Core Tip |
Yang et al’s large adolescent cohort suggests that functional constipation reflects gut-brain axis disruption associated with increased anxiety and depression risk. This letter integrates emerging evidence indicating that gut dysbiosis, altered microbial metabolites, systemic inflammation, microglial activation, and reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor-mediated neuroplasticity converge on mood regulation. It further underscores the need for longitudinal, biomarker-informed studies and scalable school-based interventions targeting diet, lifestyle, and microbiome-modulating strategies to enable precision prevention in youth mental health. |
