Summary/Abstract: Neuropsychiatric disorders significantly contribute to the global burden of disease, often associated with multiple health issues such as obesity, diabetes, liver disease, and metabolic syndrome risk factors. Although multifactorial causes underlie neuropsychiatric disorders, recent research has revealed a significant correlation between diet, metabolism, and neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression. Psychotropic medication is the primary treatment for schizophrenia spectrum disorders, but its effectiveness can vary from patient to patient and may cause severe adverse reactions. Treatment and management of neuropsychiatric disorders should include not only medication therapy but also nutritional interventions and lifestyle changes. An integrated approach, which includes assessing and correcting nutritional deficiencies and promoting healthy eating habits, could improve treatment outcomes and the quality of life for patients.
