Conditions such as depression, anxiety, neurodegenerative diseases, and stress-related cognitive dysfunction are becoming more common, while conventional pharmacotherapies are often limited by suboptimal efficacy, adverse side effects, and concerns about long-term use. Against this backdrop, neurophytochemistry\u2014the study of plant-derived bioactive compounds\u2014has emerged as a promising area of research. This review explores the potential of selected phytochemicals to support mental well-being and cognitive function via various molecular mechanisms. Compounds such as apigenin, hesperidin, and epigallocatechin gallate have been shown to have a significant impact on key regulatory pathways. These include enhancing neurogenesis via brain-derived neurotrophic factor, modulating neurotransmitter systems (such as GABA and serotonin), and attenuating oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. The therapeutic relevance of these compounds is discussed in the context of depression, anxiety, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, and stress-related cognitive dysfunction, often referred to as \u2018brain fog\u2019. This review synthesizes evidence published between 2010 and 2025 from several scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase. Preliminary evidence from in vitro studies and animal models indicates that neurophytochemicals could enhance synaptic plasticity, protect neurons from oxidative damage, and modulate inflammatory pathways, particularly those involving NF-\u03baB and the Nrf2\/ARE antioxidant response. In addition, early human clinical trials have shown that phytochemical supplementation can lead to improvements in mood regulation, stress response, and cognitive performance. Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that the gut\u2013brain axis plays a key role in mediating the effects of phytochemicals. Several compounds have been found to modulate the composition of gut microbiota in ways that could enhance the function of the central nervous system. While the initial results are encouraging, more high-quality clinical trials and mechanistic studies are required to validate these findings, optimize dosage regimens, and guarantee the safety and efficacy of long-term use. Thus, neurophytochemicals represent a promising integrative approach to alleviating the increasing burden of mental and cognitive disorders through naturally derived therapeutic strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26188907","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,12]],"date-time":"2025-09-12T13:43:02Z","timestamp":1757684582000},"page":"8907","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Neuroactive Phytochemicals as Multi-Target Modulators of Mental Health and Cognitive Function: An Integrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3951-9005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Halina","family":"Tkaczenko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biology, Pomeranian University in S\u0142upsk, Arciszewski St. 22B, 76-200 S\u0142upsk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9158-6451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lyudmyla","family":"Buyun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Tropical and Subtropical Plants, M.M.
