Nutritional biochemistry is not a subject with which most psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychopharmacologists are familiar. A stream of recent epidemiological studies and clinical trials, however, indicates that understanding of nutritional biochemistry is soon going to be essential for anyone working with mentally ill patients. Those who are tempted to dismiss this statement as airy-fairy holistic nonsense will benefit from reading some recent issues of the American Journal of Psychiatry, British Journal of Psychiatry, Archives of General Psychiatry, Schizophrenia Research, Journal of Affective Disorders, and New England Journal of Medicine.
