Probiotics in Mental Health

Probiotics in Mental Health

The concept that the gut and brain are intricately linked is widely accepted not just within the lay community but increasingly within scientific and therapeutic circles as well. Terms such as heartache and gut wrenching are more than mere metaphor they represent key fundamental aspects of human experience which all individuals will invariably endure from time to time. The relationship between the gut and brain is complex but fundamental to health and wellbeing. Increasing and compelling evidence supports the existence of a relationship between the health and status of the gut and the manifestation of significant psychopathology. Uniquely within the field of mental health and psychiatry the role of gut flora and probiotics in both the understanding and treatment of mental illness represents an emerging science whether the potential for therapeutic intervention through the use of probiotics offers an opportunity to determine efficacy within a coherent evidence-based model of both action and pathology or moreover offers interventions that are comparatively benign compared to the side-effect profile associated with most drugs used to treat mental illness. Probiotics in Mental Health examines the role of probiotics in a range of clinical presentations associated with significant psychopathology and facilitates a reconsideration of how mental illness may be conceptualised within a coherent gut-brain model of health and wellbeing. Under the rubric of enhancing wellbeing rather than dwelling on illness and disease this exciting new volume not only comprises the latest evidence in the field but also advocates an approach characterised by the understanding of mental disorder within an evidence-based model and the pursuit of mental health and wellbeing through the most benign of interventions.

Food Insecurity and Public Health

Food Insecurity and Public Health

Affecting more than 800 million people food insecurity is a global problem that runs deeper than hunger and undernutrition. In addition to the obvious impact on physical well-being food insecurity can result in risky coping strategies increased expenditures on medical costs or transportation and mental health issues. A review of the concepts and impacts of food insecurity through the lens of public health Food Insecurity and Public Health details the complex issue of food insecurity and explores its reach beyond economics and agronomics. The book guides you through the fundamentals beginning with theory and the challenges in measuring it and moving on to the impact of food insecurity on health. The book details the implications of food insecurity on public health practice including epidemiology and outcomes of diseases such as HIV TB and non-communicable diseases and the specific impact on women’s health. It closes with case studies from the Navajo Nation Kenya and Southern Africa offering the opportunity to learn from real-life successes and challenges. Each chapter also considers programs or interventions that have been used to attempt to address the issue including a discussion of the US federal food stamps program. In truth however there continues to be a dearth of data on the ways in which programs can effectively address the problem of food insecurity at the household community or district level in either the short or long term—beyond of course the elimination of poverty which is no doubt a root cause of the problem. The book gives you context for considering the links between food insecurity and health and a framework for seeking integrated solutions to both problems.
