These behaviors occur due to lack of supply of nutrients to the brain. The brain's high energy and nutrient supply is required. That is, in fact, 20 percent to 30 percent of all energy consumption during the remainder of the body. Therefore, any change of diet and nutrition levels of mental body functions directly reflected.
Chronic energy deficiency and malnutrition cases of people like the final results will be shut down and redirected its activities and reduce the body's energy source of all toward the high-energy supply system is required. This change in the level of activity results in a change in hormone levels, immune system decline in transportation efficiency and oxygen and nutrients to a specific body parts, all mental health is directly or indirectly affect .

Several studies have yielded conclusive results of the correlation between serotonin levels and omega-3 fatty acid intake for a specific type of fat white fish found only in stress and symptoms of bipolar disorder ( Mood disorder with depression and mania both expressions).
