Journal of Psychiatric Insight Review

Abstract

The health status of human beings includes mental health along with their physical development. However, all over the world, millions of people are the victims of various mental health disorders, in many forms. The most common mental disorder is anxiety disorder. About 301 million people globally suffer from these. In USA, the number of victims from mental illness is increasing, and psychotherapy or applied psycho-pharmacotherapy always may not be effective in curing the issues. Therefore, other therapeutic and/or management interventions are receiving increasing attention to bring comfort to people with these issues. In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in nutrition research to examine any effects on mental abnormalities. This review is to search for experimental evidence to support how diet affects the mental health, in normal and in abnormal conditions.
