Practical solutions for mood disorders in adults
Tuesday 21 April 2009
This one day seminar features experts discussing the role of food and the gut in relation to altered mental health. Michael Ash is one of the key note speakers discussing the relationship between gastrointestinal immunity and central nervous system function.
The role of nutrition is fundamental to human well-being but often overlooked, and there is concern that the consumption of processed food and addictive substances, along with other environmental factors, can influence our mood and behaviour.This event follows the publication of Nutrition and Mental Health: a handbook (Pavilion, 2008) and is the first of two conferences to focus on nutritional interventions for mental and emotional health problems.
Leading health practitioners will examine the evidence for the benefits of nutrition on common mood disorders in adults and will work with delegates to identify good practice and provide viable strategies on how to manage symptoms.

The immune system is prone to the same grave misfortunes as any defense system handling weapons: collateral damage that comes with the destruction of the enemy on one’s own territory and friendly fire due to mistaken identity. Whereas the collateral damage is the price we pay for clearance of infections, autoimmunity is a pathological process. Nevertheless, the effector mechanisms involved in both processes are the same. Whether environment can be a cause, a trigger or an amplifier of an autoimmune disease are questions that are being intensively investigated.
