An Editorial View on the Possible Connections Between the Human Microbiome and Most of the Neuropsychiatric Disorders – As Viewed from the Perspective of Biodiversity in the Living Environment

Abstract

The connection between mental health, the human microbiome and biodiversity in the living environment must be viewed in an interdisciplinary way, thus resulting in the fact that macrobiodiversity in the external environment influences, in a defining way, human well-being, immune functions and last but not least ethology and mood swings. Therefore, this complex interaction between several fields leads to the definition of an innovative concept called bio-eco-psychological medicine. Our present mini-editorial view here is focusing on the possible connections between the human microbiome and most of the neuropsychiatric disorders – as viewed from the perspective of biodiversity in the living environment. Thus, these aspects are fitting quite well in the theory referent to the fact that lately there is an increase interest in the connections that might appear between most of the neuropsychiatric disorders and the general and specific biodiversity, as our group demonstrated on several recent occasions.
