Metabolic psychiatry explores the connections between metabolic factors—such as glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, and inflammation—and mental health. It examines how these factors can influence the development and progression of psychiatric disorders, and it investigates their potential role in both the onset and treatment of conditions like depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.
