What is metabolic psychiatry?

Metabolic psychiatry is an emerging field that examines the connection between metabolism and mental health. Metabolism refers to the processes that help your body produce and use energy. This approach integrates psychiatric care with metabolic and nutritional strategies to support mental and physical health. These may include dietary changes, such as ketogenic therapy when appropriate, alongside medication and psychotherapy.
