Journal Title: Psychology & Psychological Research International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The prevalence of psychopathology as well as its incidence points to the need of generating different and more integrative methods of research and treatment that include the nutritional aspects of mental health. Therefore, this article briefly shows important scientific evidence of the deleterious effects of nutritional under nourshment as an essential factor in the genesis of psychopathology. Consequently, in order to understand and generate an integrative nutritional view of this problem we postulate that there is a Nutrient Depletion-Induced Neuro-Chemical Disorder (Brain Hunger) as a promising explanation and topic of study. At the same time it will serve as framework to understand and serve as foundation for nutritional interventions to manage of psychopathology.
