Managing mood disorders

Hi

It is clear that probiotics will play an important role in managing or possibly even preventing mood disorders.

--- Does "managing" mean "treatment"?
  

Top answer

Some disorders are not so much ‘treated’ as ‘managed’ in that the patient is better able to behave acceptably. Some people need sugar to avoid being irritable or impatient. Others, such as diabetics, need treatment with insulin.

  • Others, such as diabetics, need treatment with insulin.
  • So, management is a prevention by means of a non-medical dietary supplement.
  • That is my opinion.
