Is Manganese the Root Cause of Human Mental Disorders?

2026-01-06

Abstract excerpt

Mental health disorders are increasing globally and emerging as a leading public health challenge. The etiology of mental disorders is traditionally attributed to a complex interplay of genetic predispositions and social behaviors. Here, we challenge this view and propose that environmental contamination — specifically, exposure to manganese (Mn) — is a critical, yet overlooked, driver for the occurrence of mental...
