Overview

Mini-review highlights the influence of dietary interventions on mental health in children and adolescents, suggesting further exploration is necessary.

Key Points

  • Dietary interventions show potential for improving mental health in school-aged children and adolescents, suggesting further evaluation is warranted.
  • Seventeen interventions analyzed behavioral outcomes and mental health symptoms, with variations in impact based on age and assessment method.
  • Supplementation for nutrient deficiencies improved behavioral functioning in children, while impacts on adolescent mental health symptoms were noted.
  • Methodological limitations, such as assessor variations and lack of standardized measures, highlight the need for more rigorous future research.
