When a large amount of probiotics are introduced into the GI system the bad bacteria makes up for it by growing and colonizing so it is not taken over by the good bacteria. Some probiotics can stop the bad bacteria from growing and colonizing while introducing a large quantity of good bacteria into the system.

Do you mean probiotics as in through the food we eat? I wouldn't think that probiotics cause depression for several reasons.

I think probiotics are suppose to help with digestion so I'm not sure how that would even relate back to the chemical levels in your brain (sometimes when serotonin levels are low, people may be more prone to feeling depressed).
