06Questions

What do people ask before enrolling on the Nutrition for Mental Health & Mood?

Can nutrition replace treatment for depression or anxiety?

No. Nutrition can support mental wellbeing, but it is not a treatment for mental illness. Conditions such as depression and anxiety need care from qualified mental-health professionals. This course teaches supportive, educational guidance that works alongside, never instead of, that care.

What certificate do I receive?

You receive an NNWA skill-enhancement certificate in Nutrition for Mental Health & Mood. It recognises your knowledge of the nutrition side of wellbeing; it is not a UGC degree, a clinical dietetics qualification, or a counselling licence.

Is this a counselling course?

No. It focuses on the nutrition side of wellbeing, not talk therapy or clinical psychology. If you are already a counsellor, it adds a dietary dimension to your work. It does not qualify you to diagnose or treat mental-health conditions.

Do I need a background in psychology or nutrition?

Some nutrition grounding helps as this is an intermediate course, but psychology is not required. Concepts are explained plainly in English and Hindi. Newcomers may like to begin with Introduction to Nutrition.

How is the course delivered?

It is fully online and runs over about six weeks, taught in English and Hindi. You get lifetime access to recordings and mentor support throughout. Fees can be paid in full or through EMI.
