You may expect that depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns have become less prevalent over time given all the developments in medical therapies over the previous 30 to 40 years. That's regrettably not the case.
These statistics are:
Almost 1 in 4 adults in the UK currently experience a common mental disease (such as depression or anxiety) at some point each year.
43.4 percent of adults believe they have had a mental illness at some point in their lives. 35.2% of males and 51.2% of women are represented in this.
A third of women (33.7%) and a fifth (19.5%) of males have had their diagnoses supported by medical experts. – Basic Information regarding Mental Health in 2016
According to the most recent Digital NHS statistics, 1.54 million people had contact with mental health services at the end of January 2022, and the problem only got worse with the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020–21.
A record number of children—more than 400,000 every month—were receiving treatment for mental health issues during this time, indicating an unprecedented crisis in children's and young people' wellbeing.
When faced with mental health challenges, the default response is to visit your doctor and receive "medicine." It will work for the majority of us, at least temporarily.
However, don't you think it would be better if you could treat (depression or anxiety) and even lessen the likelihood of getting it without having to worry about any negative effects?
In this enlightening talk, clinical psychologist Julia Rucklidge discusses the value of nutrition and how it affects mental health.
Despite the large range of mental health treatments available, she has discovered that the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems is increasing rather than decreasing.
Dr. Rucklidge learned, like many medical professionals, that nutrition had little to do with treating mental illness. Since then, she has learned that this is completely false.
She found that eating well is "a safe and viable method to avoid, treat, and decrease mental illness" after decades of research.
Her investigations included a placebo trial, which exemplifies this assertion to a tee.
She administered vitamins and minerals to one test group of ADHD sufferers before administering a placebo to the other group.
After 8 weeks, there were twice as many subjects in the micronutrient group who showed good responses as there were in the placebo group.
While the placebo group experienced deteriorating symptoms, those who continued their vitamin and mineral medication continued to respond satisfactorily.
Additionally, she experimented with micronutrients on people with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and depression. Participants improved in every situation.
She came to the conclusion that a bad diet considerably raises the likelihood of mental health problems.
