Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing [ Time Frame: 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


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Stool samples

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Signed informed consent, demonstrating that the patient understands the procedures required for the study and the purpose of the study

    a. May be signed by parent or legal guardian in the case of minor or adult unable to provide consent

  2. Male or female of all ages. (interest is given to children who present with autism or Crohn's and whose parents wish to analyze their children's gut flora. Also of interest analysis of development of the child's microbiome. In the case of autism, the younger the child, the better to correct the neurological problems if an association is found between autism and the microbiome)
  3. Diagnosis of depression based on DSM-V criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Refusal to sign informed consent form
  2. History of bariatric surgery, total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis or proctocolectomy.
  3. Postoperative stoma, ostomy, or ileoanal pouch
  4. Participation in any experimental drug protocol within the past 12 weeks
  5. Treatment with total parenteral nutrition
