The Role of Mitochondria in Mental Health

Mitochondria are essential organelles within our cells that play a critical role in generating energy and maintaining cellular function. They produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called the electron transport chain, which converts electrons from food into usable energy. Dysfunctional mitochondria can lead to insufficient energy production, resulting in various health issues, including mental health disorders like depression and anxiety. When mitochondria fail to meet the energy demands of the tissues, it can trigger inflammation and other problems, signifying a direct link between mitochondrial health and mental well-being.
