Nutritional Psychiatry

Nutritional Psychiatry is a field that explores how our diet influences mental health, including mood, anxiety, and depression. It recognizes that the nutrients we consume—such as vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and amino acids—play a crucial role in brain function and neurotransmitter production. By eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, we can support better mental well-being and potentially improve mental health conditions. This approach emphasizes the connection between nutrition and mental wellness, encouraging dietary habits that promote a healthy brain alongside traditional treatments.
