Brain Nutrition

Integrative Psychiatry: Mental Symptoms and Nutrients (7/14/06), via Brain Blogger.

"...Nutrients play a critical role in mental health. They are the building blocks of the nervous system. In fact, the brain has first call on the available supply of nutrients. Therefore, the first effects of nutritional deficiencies are often mental symptoms. Deficiencies in almost any of the vitamins and minerals can show up first as emotional or mental symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, or impaired memory and concentration."  MORE . . .
