Vitaminlerin psikiyatrideki rolü: Bir gözden geçirme

The role of vitamins in psychiatry: A review ABSTRACT Genetic factors, stress, nutrition, medications and environ-mental variables are factors that affect the occurrence of psychiatric disorders. The effect of dietary nutrients on mental health is an area that attracted the attention of re-searchers and has been studied for over a century. The role of vitamins in psychiatric disorders is an issue that can be addressed within the nutritional factor. It has been known that some vitamin deficiencies can cause psychiatric symptoms and disorders. The role of vitamins in the formation and treatment of schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders and neurocognitive disorders has been investigated. When the literature is reviewed, it is seen that the data obtained from the studies in this field are not consistent. Especially, studies on the use of vitamin supplements in the treatment of these disorders have re-vealed conflicting results.
