Q&A: Do mental health people have objections to nutrition advice?
The reason I ask is that I answered a question from a young woman who was complaining of anxiety and moodiness, and I recommended some nutrition solution she could try – and I got a thumbs down! Now, I know, it was only one, no big deal. But I really was quite nice, and even if someone didn’t agree, I didn’t think there was any reason to thumbs down my answer.
So, I wanted to know if there was some kind of distaste in the mental health community for nutrition supplements or answers of this kind, or if it was just a fluke.

Fluke. One thumbs down doesn’t mean that everyone with a mental illness doesn’t want nutritional advice. You can’t judge a whole group based on a thumbs down. People give thumbs down for no good reason all the time (in my opinion).

There are a variety of mental health problem. Some refuse to take medicine. Some people refuse to take proper timely food.
Do not bother about thumbs down. It may not be true or correct. You go on answering frankly.

She was probably so stressed that anything extra that she had to do was out of the question. If the food was in front of her, she would eat it and be thankful.
I suffered from anxiety myself before I was treated. It’s difficult to concentrate, also.

Some people find it more easy to give the thumbs down. I only do so when someone is outright rude and insensitive to others. Try not to let it bother you. With such a big forum it is bound to happen once in a while. Keep on answering those questions:) Good Luck

The problem is you get people here on yahoo answers asking what to do about their bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, or a person is brooding over suicide, and someone gives them nutritional advice, which obviously is not going to be enough to deal with these situations. So I think someone just reflexively gave you the thumbs down. According to my psychiatrist, most of her patients are too disabled to improve their nutrition very much – cooking is just too hard. And good nutrition has not helped my bipolar disorder at all, so far as I can tell. I have a better diet than probably 90% of Americans. No help.
for minor moodiness or anxiety, nutrition probably does play a role, so keep giving your advice. A lot of people with anxiety have too much caffeine, and there are the ups and downs in the day from eating things like white bread, which jack up your sugars, then leave you plummeting soon after. So I think it’s worth continuing to advise.

Lots of dumbasses do that kind of shit. Honestly nurtitional changes, along with exercise, and lifestyle changes should be the FIRST step in treating your symptoms, and if that isn’t enough you should start taking meds. People are just too lazy in this day and age…here take this pill, it’ll make you feel better! Yeah right.
Also WHO THE FUCK is giving everyone thumbs down? And to the one woman who said nutrition doesn’t help, I simply don’t believe you, you need to be healthy in body, to really help treat your minds problems. I suffer from some horrible disorders, longer than you could even imagine, and I have to say nutritional changes,exercise,etc help a great amount, of course they aren’t the solution for people who seriously have problems, they do help.
