One could probably switch off and on, for example, do several doses of a cheaper probiotic during the day and one dose of a real good one. And help them flourish by eating a high fiber low sugar diet.
In the overall big picture though, when we get sick with mystery diseases such as depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromylagia, schizophrenia, anxiety, etc, by the time we have found some relief we have spent hundreds and thousands of dollars for doctor visits and meds and tests. So probiotics look like a pretty cheap trial. If they provide benefit, it should be evident with only one month supply, and then one could back off to a maintenance dose instead of an aggressive dose.
Back to the original topic, if someone were to look up the symptoms of candida overgrowth, depression is always there. Candida is but one suspect among many, but isn't too difficult or expensive to confirm it or rule it out.
