New Zealand’s mental health commission faces criticism for ignoring diet’s role in mental health, despite scientific evidence and a submitted report urging change.
Physicians and Scientists for Global Responsibility New Zealand (PSGRNZ) has criticized New Zealand’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission for excluding nutrition and metabolic health from its work, despite scientific evidence linking diet to mental health.
The group submitted a report, Reclaiming Health, urging the Commission to consider micronutrient treatments and dietary factors, especially for vulnerable populations, but was told executive leadership would decide whether to forward it—raising transparency concerns.
PSGRNZ argues the Commission’s focus on system performance and service access, rather than evidence-based interventions, undermines its statutory duty to assess long-term mental health trends and limit therapeutic options, particularly for those facing nutritional disparities.
La Comisión de Salud Mental de Nueva Zelanda se enfrenta a críticas por ignorar el papel de la dieta en la salud mental, a pesar de la evidencia científica y de un informe presentado que insta al cambio.
