Sažetak
Participants will be introduced to the fundamental
concepts of nutritional psychiatry and the
importance of an interdisciplinary approach to
mental health through understanding the complex
interactions between diet, metabolism, immune
processes, the gut microbiome, and brain
function. Special emphasis will be placed on the
relationship between dietary patterns, nutritional
status, and targeted nutritional interventions
in the prevention, course, and treatment of psychiatric
disorders. The workshop is intended for
mental health professionals and will provide an
overview of current scientific knowledge on the
biological mechanisms linking nutrition and psychopathology,
including inflammatory processes,
oxidative stress, metabolic dysfunction, and
the gut–brain axis. Through the presentation
of clinical examples and discussion of practical
challenges, participants will have the opportunity to reflect on ways to integrate the principles
of nutritional psychiatry into everyday clinical
practice and on their role in an individualized
treatment approach. A better understanding of
dietary factors that affect mental health can contribute
to a more comprehensive assessment of
patients’ needs and enrich existing therapeutic
strategies. Incorporating nutritional aspects into
clinical practice offers additional opportunities to
promote recovery, improve quality of life, and enhance
long-term treatment outcomes for people
with mental disorders.
