The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of commercial multi-strains psychobiotics supplementation as an ad-on therapy on depressive symptoms and metabolic syndrome components (HDL-C, FPG, TGs, WC, BP) in adult depressed obese patients with metabolic syndrome. The second goal is to explore the effect of commercial multi-strains psychobiotics supplementation on the anthropometric measurement (weight, body mass index (BMI)) in adult depressed obese patients with metabolic syndrome. The main questions they aim to answer are: * Will commercial multi-strains psychobiotics supplementation help to ease depressive symptoms as an ad-on therapy in patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome? * Will commercial multi-strains psychobiotics supplementation improve anthropometric measurements and metabolic syndrome components (WC, FPG, BP, TGs, HDL-C) in obese depressed patients? Researchers will compare psychobiotics to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if psychobiotics work to improve depression and obesity comorbid with metabolic syndrome. Participants will: * Be examined for depression, anxiety, and metabolic syndrome components (waist circumference, diabetes, blood pressure, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein). * Be asked to conduct laboratory tests to determine the inclusion and exclusion criteria. * Be given probiotics/ placebo to consume every day for 3 months. * Repeat the examination and laboratory tests to determine the results. * Be followed up weekly for adverse events and to insure their compliance with the study instructions. * Be followed up after 4 weeks as an end-visit and will conduct the examination and the laboratory blood tests.
