Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Both malnutrition and poor mental health are leading sources of global mortality, disease,
and disability. The fields of global food security and nutrition (FSN) and mental health have
historically been seen as separate fields of research. Each have undergone substantial
transformation, especially from clinical, primary care orientations to wider, sociopolitical
approaches to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. In recent years, the trajectories
of research on mental health and FSN are further evolving into an intersection of
evidence. FSN impacts mental health through various pathways such as food insecurity
and nutrients important for neurotransmission. Mental health drives FSN outcomes,
for example through loss of motivation and caregiving capacities. They are also linked
through a complex and interrelated set of determinants. However, the heterogeneity
of the evidence base limits inferences about these important dynamics. Furthermore,
interdisciplinary projects and programmes are gaining ground in methodology and
impact, but further guidance in integration is much needed. An evidence-driven
conceptual framework should inform hypothesis testing and programme implementation.
The intersection of mental health and FSN can be an opportunity to invest holistically in
advancing thinking in both fields.
