NIETO RODRIGUEZ, KAREN NATASHA e CALVO GOMEZ, JOSÉ MANUEL. FOLIC ACID AND MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2001, vol.30, n.1, pp.39-49. ISSN 0034-7450.
Since the discovery of the folic acid in the 40´s, several studies have reported a linkage between its deficiency and psychiatric illness. The clinic relevance of folic acid deficiency deserves further research and has been inferred from clinical observations and better understanding of folate rol in brain metabolic pathways. This article reviews medical literature about the relation-ship between acid folic function and mental disorders, with emphasis on major depressive disorders.
