Mitochondrial impairments can lead to mental illness and neurological disease. It's true! 🧵(1/9) #metabolicpsychiatry #mitochondria
Some believe the root cause of certain types of mental disorders is things like mercury or allergies. (2/9)
it's important to understand that they affect metabolism in specific ways by poisoning mitochondria or affecting regulatory cells. So it still comes back down to mitochondria (3/9) #mentalhealth
Despite the complexity of the many metabolic pathways and enzymes, understanding the primary regulators of metabolism ultimately leads to mitochondria. (4/9) #mitochondria #health
Understanding the vital role of mitochondria in the body is the future of psychiatry and a key to unlocking a whole new universe of possibilities for mental health research and treatment. (5/9) #mitochondria #psychiatry #health
Research in clinical genetics, neuroscience, neural imaging, and metabolic studies have come together with decades of data supporting the role of mitochondria dysfunction (6/9)
Impaired mitochondrial function, impairs brain metabolism resulting in mental and neurological disorders (7/9) #research #neuroscience #health
At the end of the day, a comprehensive understanding of the mental health field and how it can be integrated in a coherent way is crucial to helping those with mental illness and neurological diseases. (8/9) #mentalhealth #neurology #health
So let's keep exploring the big picture of metabolism and how we can intervene in novel ways to improve the health of our mitochondria and, ultimately, reduce the suffering of those with mental illness and neurological disorders. (9/9) #health #metabolism #mentalhealth
