Overview

What is This Course About?

The Online Mental Health and Nutrition Course gives emphasis on the connection between food and mental health and the use of nutrition interventions for mental health problems. It discusses the gut and brain link, the impact of nutrition on a person’s wellbeing, the implications of mineral depletion on mental health, and the effects of chemical additives and exposure to mercury on overall health. It also examines available treatments and interventions for addressing mental health problems such as eating disorders, depression, and schizophrenia.

The use of nutrition interventions is starting to gain recognition as part of integrative approach to mental health care. As an emerging field, though, there is still a lot to learn about nutrition as a complementary or alternative medicine for mental health issues. Through this course, students will receive a basic orientation on the subject, which will shed light on how nutrients affect mental health. They will also understand the potential impact diet has on the emergence, diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
