Herbals and natural dietary supplements in psychiatric practice

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

There is some evidence that links the increase of mental disorders prevalence with a deterioration of Western countries nutritional habits and it is found that the use of herbal and "natural" food supplements to treat different disorders is increasing. With factors such as chronic illness, poor health, emotional distress, and quality of life influencing the desire for complementary medicine, patients with comorbid medical and psychiatric problems seem likely to turn to this approach.
