Resumen

La ansiedad y la depresión son enfermedades mentales cada vez más prevalentes en el mundo que brindan calidad de vida a los pacientes. Aunque la medicación se considera la primera línea de intervención, muchos no tienen una buena adherencia al tratamiento. El seguimiento nutricional y la fitoterapia aparecen como un recurso terapéutico para mejorar la sintomatología y favorecer la salud de estas patologías. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender, a través de una revisión de la literatura, el papel de los alimentos y la fitoterapia en el tratamiento de los trastornos de ansiedad y depresión en la población adulta y anciana. Para la investigación bibliográfica se utilizó la base de datos PubMed, SciELO, ClinicalKey y CAPES con la selección de artículos publicados en revistas nacionales e internacionales, de 2010 a 2020. Se encontró que la calidad de la dieta afecta el estado clínico general del paciente y contribuye de manera impactante en mejorar la salud de las patologías estudiadas. Se destacó el ejemplo de suplementar micronutrientes como zinc, magnesio, vitaminas A, C, D, E y complejo B, además de incluir fuentes alimentarias que contengan triptófano y omega 3 para una respuesta beneficiosa en el perfil de ansiedad y depresión. Por tanto, el cuidado nutricional está indicado, ya que la evidencia apunta a una relación directa entre la buena nutrición y la salud mental.
