Mechanisms and Effects of Dietary Restriction on CNS and Affective Disorders

Neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression contribute significantly to global disability and possess high social and health burden. Management is dominated by pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy; nevertheless, such treatments prevent or treat less than half of the patients, suggesting that alter...

description Neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression contribute significantly to global disability and possess high social and health burden.
