The amount of people under psychiatric treatment is increasing, while, at the
same time, the rates of mental illness are on the rise. Many researches had shown how medication to treat diseases as depression, anxiety, ADHD, among others are effective in a short term but are not in a long term. By changing their diet to consume the correct amount of micronutrients people can prevent and treat these conditions and maintain good results in time, improving not only that specific disease, but also other aspects of their health and life.
