Although walnut has a certain brain-strengthening effect, the effect is not very significant, so it can't replace drugs for treatment. If you want to improve brain nutrition, you can eat walnuts in moderation, but you can't rely too much.

It should be noted that any food should be eaten in moderation, and excessive consumption of walnuts may cause indigestion and other discomfort.
