The impact of microplastics on mental health is an emerging area of research, and the medical literature points to potential neurobehavioral effects. Studies have shown that exposure to microplastics can lead to changes in behavior, neurotoxicity, and cognitive impairments in animal models. Although these findings from animal studies suggest a possible link between microplastic exposure and mental health outcomes, it is important to note that research in this area is still limited and more studies are needed to understand the mechanisms and consequences for human health.
