ForwardRecorded Webinar: Nutritional Psychiatry: The Role of Food in Mental Health Treatment
This webinar took place on Thursday, March 23, 2023, from 2-3:30 p.m. ET.
The latest advances in neuroscience and nutrition research, along with improved understanding of the mind-gut connection, have demonstrated that what we eat can significantly affect how we feel - not only physically, but also emotionally. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14 and 75% by age 24.1 These statistics are staggering and are on the rise. As such, it’s likely that a variety of health care practitioners will work with clients, patients, and community members who experience depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more.
Join Karman Meyer, RDN, LDN, and Lauren Clanton, APRN, PMHNP-BC, AGPCNP-BC, for an interactive, interprofessional webinar that discusses the foundational elements of the food and mental health connection. This expert duo will detail strategies and discuss tools that will help you serve your patients more effectively. Engage in a case study review that demonstrates collaboration across the health care professions and participate in group discussion to learn how to improve care for patients using nutrition for better mental health.
