Abstract
Emerging evidence links micronutrient status
to emotional regulation, cognitive function, and the risk and course of mood
disorders. This review synthesizes biological mechanisms that connect vitamins
and minerals to mood (including neurotransmitter synthesis, neuroinflammation,
oxidative stress, and the gut–brain axis), evaluates clinical and
epidemiological evidence for specific micronutrients (B‑complex vitamins,
vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, iron, selenium, vitamin C, and others), and
examines the efficacy and safety of nutrition‑based therapeutic interventions.
We summarize limitations in current research design, identify promising areas
for clinical translation, and propose recommendations for future research and
clinical practice. The paper is intended as a balanced resource for
psychologists, psychiatrists, nutritionists, and researchers interested in
integrative approaches to mental health.
