Countless studies have established a clear link between what we eat and our physical health. Increasing evidence shows that nutrition also plays a crucial role in mental health outcomes. The complexities of causality and the underlying biological mechanisms are still being unraveled; meanwhile, it is essential that today's mental health professionals be equipped to provide their clients with informed guidance on nutrition, counsel clients on ways that diet can optimize mental health, and recognize when to make referrals to registered dietitians or lifestyle medicine specialists. Food, Nutrition, and Mental Health delves into the vital intersection of these key areas, providing a much-needed overview of the relevant topics.
