Psychiatric Times has published guidance urging clinicians to pay closer attention to mental health during the menopause transition. The piece highlights that mood changes, depression and anxiety can emerge or worsen during perimenopause, and that clinicians should recognise these symptoms and consider hormonal context when assessing and treating midlife women.

Psychiatric Times reports on metabolic psychiatry, an emerging approach that combines nutritional interventions with pharmacological treatment to address mental health disorders. The field focuses on how metabolic health, including diet and factors like insulin resistance, may influence psychiatric conditions, and clinicians are increasingly exploring diet-based strategies alongside conventional medication to improve patient outcomes.

Psychiatric Times reports on the potential of ketogenic metabolic therapy as an adjunct treatment for serious mental illness. The article examines how a ketogenic diet, already used for epilepsy, may help address metabolic dysfunction linked to conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder when combined with standard psychiatric care, while clinicians weigh the evidence and practical challenges of dietary interventions in mental health treatment.
