Antes de que el método ortomolecular fuera aplicado en otras áreas de las ciencias de la salud como la dietética, la nutrición y la medicina, primero se implementó en la psiquiatría, dando origen a la psiquiatría ortomolecular. “Para la psiquiatría ortomolecular, el tratamiento básico de las enfermedades mentales reside en subsanar los efectos perjudiciales de una mala nutrición, prescribiendo una alimentación correcta… Su papel fundamental consiste en recomendar una dosificación de nutrientes, apropiada para cada paciente” (Hoffer, 1998) Linus Pauling (1968) definió la psiquiatría ortomolecular como “el tratamiento de enfermedades mentales mediante la creación de un entorno molecular óptimo para la mente, especialmente de la concentración óptima de las sustancias que normalmente se encuentran presentes en el organismo humano”.
