But what most don't know is that a critical ingredient in this debate, and a crucial part of the solution - \u003cb\u003ewhat we eat\u003c\/b\u003e - is being ignored. \u003cb\u003eNutrition has more influence on what we feel, who we become and how we behave than we could ever have imagined\u003c\/b\u003e. It affects everything from our decision-making to aggression and violence. Yet mental health disorders are overwhelmingly treated as 'mind' problems as if the physical brain - and how we feed it - is irrelevant. Someone suffering from depression is more likely to be asked about their relationship with their mother than their relationship with food. In this eye-opening and impassioned book, psychologist Kimberley Wilson draws on startling new research - as well as her own work in prisons, schools and hospitals around the country - to reveal \u003cb\u003ethe role of food and nutrients in brain development and mental health\u003c\/b\u003e: from how the food a woman eats during pregnancy influences the size of her baby's brain, and hunger makes you mean; to how nutrient deficiencies change your personality. \u003cb\u003eWe must also recognise poor nutrition as a social injustice, with the poorest and most vulnerable being systematically ignored.\u003c\/b\u003e We need to talk about what our food is doing to our brains. And we need decisive action, not over rehearsed soundbites and empty promises, from those in power - because if we don't, things can only get worse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKimberley Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is a Chartered Psychologist, author and visiting lecturer working in private practice in central London.
