新西兰心理健康委员会因无视饮食在精神健康中的作用而面临批评,尽管有科学证据和提交的报告敦促改变。
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.
新西兰医生和科学家全球责任协会(PSGRNZ)批评新西兰心理健康和福利委员会将营养和代谢健康排除在其工作之外,尽管有科学证据表明饮食与心理健康有关。
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.
该小组提交了一份题为 " 恢复健康 " 的报告,敦促委员会考虑微量营养素治疗和饮食因素,特别是对弱势人口而言,但被告知,行政领导将决定是否提出增加透明度问题。
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认为,委员会对系统业绩和服务准入的重视,而不是以证据为基础的干预,损害了其评估长期心理健康趋势的法定义务,限制了治疗选择,特别是对那些面临营养差距的人而言。
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.
