The American Journal of Managed Care (7/16, Grossi) reports, “Becoming food insecure can trigger symptoms of anxiety and depression within just one month, and regaining food security can reverse those symptoms just as quickly, according to new research that offers compelling evidence of a direct, causal link between food access and mental health.” The research “tracked nearly 500 adults, showing food insecurity as a significant predictor of mental health issues.” The findings were published in PLOS Mental Health.
