Abstract

Nutritional psychiatry lifestyle psychiatry International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research ISNPR Health psychology Expanding knowledge in psychology
While treatment access and uptake has expanded significantly in many settings, the population mental health burden has remained largely unchanged due to diagnostic heterogeneity, unclear etiology, limitations of existing pharmaceutical approaches, and evolving environmental determinants [1,2]. This underscores the need for modifiable preventive and therapeutic targets, particularly those affecting shared biological pathways across mental disorders. In this context, the accumulating evidence showing that lifestyle behaviors not only influence the risk and progression of mental disorders [2,3] but also demonstrate therapeutic efficacy as adjunctive treatments [3], highlights the significant potential of dietary policies and interventions as scalable, feasible, and acceptable approaches that can address both prevention and treatment needs [3].
