Malnutrition and perspectives of nutritional therapy for mental disorders
Abstract
Metabolic disorders associated with nutritional deficiency/imbalance are common in various psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, dementia, and eating disorders. Malnutrition degrees vary in a wide range – from borderline minerals, vitamins, micronutrients deficiency/imbalance to severe metabolic disorders and cachexia. We present a review of up-to-date publications, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews on the subject. The need to introduce supplemental nutrition as an additional component of a therapeutic strategy for various mental disorders is discussed. The potential of using the products of the Fresubin line is analyzed in detail.
