Correct nutrition and diet are directly correlated with mental health, functions of the immune system, and gut microbiota composition. Diets with a high content of some nutrients, such as fibers, phytochemicals, and short-chain fatty acids (omega-3 fatty acids), seem to have an anti-inflammatory and protective action on the nervous system. Among nutraceuticals, supplementation of probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids plays a role in improving symptoms of several mental disorders. In this review, we collect data on the efficacy of nutraceuticals in patients with schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, major depression, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of recent evidence obtained on this topic, pointing out the direction for future research.
正确的营养和饮食与心理健康、免疫系统功能和肠道微生物群落组成直接相关。一些营养素含量高的饮食,如纤维、植物化学物质和短链脂肪酸(ω-3 脂肪酸),似乎对神经系统具有抗炎和保护作用。在营养保健品中,益生菌和 ω-3 脂肪酸的补充在改善几种精神障碍的症状方面发挥作用。在这篇综述中,我们收集了营养保健品在精神分裂症、自闭症谱系障碍、重度抑郁症、双相情感障碍和人格障碍患者中的疗效数据。这篇叙述性综述旨在概述在这一主题上获得的最新证据,并为未来的研究指明方向。
