摘　　要：Depression can be counted as the most severe mental disease in the world nowadays, which lacks effective curing treatments. With an increasing number of patients, developing effective treatments with fewer side effects is essential. Medicinal food homology has been proven to influence the pathogenesis of depression positively. Gut microbiota plays a vital role in exerting the antidepressant effect of substances from the medicinal food homology, as they facilitate different chemical processes and increase the bioavailability of the substances. This review summarizes the correlation between gut microbiota and depression and provides new pathways for effective treatments of depression.Depression can be counted as the most severe mental disease in the world nowadays, which lacks effective curing treatments.
