Anxiety	No Intervention	Patients with anxiety

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing	Three years	Relative abundance of bacterial classes within taxonomic phyla and, more broadly, within their domain will be analyzed by sequencing the gut microbiome. These data will then be categorized with anxiety
