Abstract
Evidence points to links not only between nutrition and day-to-day mood fluctuations, but also more severe mental illness and behavioural problems . Mental health problems are believed to be the result of a combination of factors, including age, genetics and environmental factors. One of the most obvious, yet under-recognised factors in the development of major trends in mental health is the role of nutrition. Initially, many of the claims were made about children’s behavioural reaction to food additives, but now it is much broader – research into depression, schizophrenia, dementia and anxiety disorders have all implicated diet as a factor in the progression and treatment of these conditions .The most clinically important nutrient related to psychiatric disorders is omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) especially for depression. It is likely that optimal nutritional treatment will involve complex combinations of nutrients especially fatty acids, preferably as part of a healthy balanced diet rather than by using supplements. So and Because the field of diet and brain function is very young , it should not be surprising that large gaps exist at the biochemical, physiologic, and behavioral levels in the knowledge of the effects of nutrients on brain function which need further researches.
