About this event

When it comes to mental health
(almost) everyone ignores nutrition

This webinar will address how nutrition is of fundamental importance for mental health and wellbeing, as well as physical health and how this can be applied in practice for adults with mental health problems.

Worldwide evidence for nutritional psychiatry is growing but the problem remains translating this effectively into “evidence-based practice.”

Good nutrition is important for all mental health conditions but particularly for people with serious conditions, such as psychosis, which can take various forms including, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia or substance use disorders.

A Perfect Storm

Poor Diet - people with these symptoms may have poor quality diets for many reasons, including food poverty, other social disadvantages, and basic selfcare being difficult when managing symptoms.

Medication Side-effects - some of the medications used for these conditions also increase risks for obesity, type-2 diabetes and related conditions in which diet plays an important part.

Lack of Knowledge - there is a huge, unmet need to help patients, their carers and families to access better nutrition as evidence shows this can affect their mental wellbeing and assist their recovery, by helping to improve mood, sleep, behaviour and ability to think clearly.

You will learn

  • Which aspects of diet can raise the risk of developing mental health problems in those with predisposing factors

  • What research is showing about the potential costs vs benefits of nutritional approaches to mental health treatment

  • The latest evidence for the benefits of Omega-3 for the prevention and management of psychosis

  • What dietary changes affected individuals and families can make for themselves

  • How professionals working in adult mental health can help and support patients with their lifestyle choices.

Hear from expert researchers and speakers Dr Kevin Williamson and Dr Alex Richardson for live discussion and answers to your questions - on why and how nutrition is of fundamental importance for mental health and wellbeing, as well as physical health.
