Mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia—as well as neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s—are major global public health concerns. Their prevalence continues to grow, treatments remain imperfect, and their origins are multifactorial.  

Despite pharmacological advances, conventional treatments are often ineffective for a subset of patients, poorly tolerated, or not well suited for chronic forms. Low-grade chronic inflammation, long overlooked, is now emerging as a key factor in the pathophysiology of many psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions.
