New Nature-Published Research Reviews How Metabolic Dysfunction May Be the Core Driver in Psychiatric Diseases
A new review in Nature Mental Health, led by Stanford’s Dr. Shebani Sethi, argues that metabolic dysfunction is a core driver of serious psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression. The paper synthesizes 138 studies linking systemic energy‑processing abnormalities to brain health and recommends routine metabolic screening for psychiatric patients. It highlights pharmacologic options like metformin and GLP‑1 agonists, as well as lifestyle interventions such as ketogenic diets and intermittent fasting. Metabolic Psychiatry Labs, founded by Dr. Sethi in 2024, is expanding tele‑medicine services and clinical trials to test these approaches.
