Stanford Metabolic Psychiatry Group

A Facebook Group. Visible for anyone to find but Private so that only members can see who is in the group and what they post. Created in 2019 with over 500 members.

This is a group uniquely created to share community and valuable resources with you regarding metabolic and mental health. It is also linked to a web resource tool we are creating for a public education-focused initiative to describe the emerging discipline of Metabolic Psychiatry and translate the latest global science distilled in an easier to understand format. Stanford is home to the world's first Metabolic Psychiatry Program, founded by Dr. Shebani Sethi. We are among a small, but growing group of passionate researchers and advocates around the world who wish to advance clinical care and the research field over time.

Their aims (January 2023)

1. To create a dedicated space for community members to connect and provide educational content about the link between metabolic and mental health
2. To provide and translate the latest research in metabolic psychiatry empowering members with actionable insight
3. To offer support and general concepts, not specific medical advice, to those affected by changes across nutrition, metabolism, and mental health that can improve one’s quality of life.
