Food Insecurity and Mental Health

Food Insecurity and Mental Health (Adult Population)

The Food Insecurity and Mental Health Research Category consolidates research on the link between food insecurity and mental health in adulthood. Research shows that food insecurity is linked with higher odds of anxiety, depression, and psychological distress, and that changes in food insecurity status can rapidly produce measurable changes in mental health outcomes. The relationship between under- and over-nutrition is a fundamental area of exploration in nutritional psychology. To learn more, become a CNP Library Member.
