Horticultural therapy or growing and eating food together provides several ways to increase mood, improve nutritional status, reduce loneliness and reduce the physical health impacts of mental illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder. In this paper we will discuss some of the issues people living with post-traumatic stress disorder might face. We will also provide an overview of the therapeutic effects of these approaches and how they will be applied in a locally identified group.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.70643.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,3]],"date-time":"2021-09-03T06:42:27Z","timestamp":1630651347000},"page":"885","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Horticultural therapy, nutrition and post-traumatic stress disorder in post-military veterans: developing non-pharmaceutical interventions to complement existing therapeutic approaches"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0048-0553","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Mottershead","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4495-9657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marjorie","family":"Ghisoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"653334","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2021.653334","article-title":"Role of Neuron and Glia in Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and Associated Vascular Dysfunction.","volume":"13","author":"S Bandyopadhyay","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front Aging Neurosci."},{"key":"ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"256-7","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2007.120220","article-title":"Howard A.
