Core Tip This article synthesizes recent evidence linking per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure to psychiatric disorders. It highlights the growing relevance of PFAS in psychiatric research, especially concerning children, pregnant women, and socioeconomically vulnerable populations. By examining epidemiological trends and biological mechanisms, the review underscores the urgent need for interdisciplinary research and policy action to mitigate the mental health risks posed by these persistent environmental contaminants.
