There has been a growing
awareness for decades that good nutrition is essential for mental health. However
psychiatrists have not been emphasizing nutritional considerations into their
treatment plans. The University of Melbourne reported on Jan. 28, 2015, that
diet and nutrition are essential for mental health.

Researchers have said
evidence has been rapidly growing showing there are vital relationships between
both diet quality and potential nutritional deficiencies and mental health.
Leading academics now say that as with a range of medical conditions psychiatry
and public health should now recognize and gladly accept diet and nutrition as primary
determinants of mental health.
This study has been
published in The Lancet Psychiatry. Lead author Dr Jerome Sarris says that
amidst the complex determinants of mental health there has been emerging and
compelling evidence for nutrition as a primary factor in the high prevalence
and incidence of mental disorders. This clearly suggests that nutrition should
be considered as important to psychiatry as it is to cardiology and other
medical specialties.
It is unfortunately hard
to imagine psychiatrists actually aggressively and successfully implementing
nutritional considerations as a priority into their practices. As the Citizens
Commission on Human Rights has effectively reported psychiatry is basically a
destructive discipline which consistently causes far more harm than good.
In view of the fact that
stigmatization created and enforced by the psychiatrists themselves generally
leads to economic deprivation and starvation in their patients it would be a
really challenging task for the psychiatrists to change gears and bring new
doctors who emphasize good nutrition for mental health into their specialty. It
doesn't seem likely this will happen, particularly in an era wherein the
sadistic legalization of psychiatry has become trendy and very lucrative for
the psychiatrists. However it's nice to dream.
