Newest studies

Every summary in our library, newest first, as a dated timeline.

What "newest" means here

The most recent study in this library is dated 2026-11-01 (Paths of Aging Minds: Health Journeys of Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment). This is our summary library, not a news wire — it is added to in batches, so the newest entry may not be the newest paper published anywhere.

Entries are sorted strictly by publication date, newest first. 26489 of the 27380 entries carry a full day-level date. 65 have no date recorded at all and are placed by publication year, at the start of that year; those are marked "no date recorded" below so you can see where the ordering is a best effort rather than a fact.

    Understanding nutrition, depression and mental illnesses

    ✓ Peer-reviewed Brain scans and imaging Indian Journal of Psychiatry

    Key finding: The most common mental disorders that are currently prevalent in numerous countries are depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).[2] The dietary intake pattern of the general population in many Asian and American countries reflects that they are often deficient in many nutrients, especially essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids.[3] A notable feature of the diets of patients suffering from mental disorders is the severity of deficiency in these nutrients.[3] Studies have indicated that daily supplements of vital nutrients are often effective in reducing patients' symptoms.[4] Supplements containing amino acids have also been found to reduce symptoms, as they are converted to neurotransmitters which in turn alleviate depression and other mental health problems.[4] On the basis of accumulating scientific evidence, an effective therapeutic intervention is emerging, namely nutritional supplement/treatment. +4 more findings
