Keto for Anxiety and Depression: Does It Work?

[@drunkensquirrel7545]

I believe it. A big hindrance is that it's gotten too expensive for many people these days.

[@Snowinginstardew]

the KZbin channel 'living well with schizophrenia' documented her journey of using medical keto to treat her schizoactivive disorder and tapered off the anti psychotics after like a decade of being on drugs.

[@laratheplanespotter]

Was going to mention Lauren. Her transformation is astonishing. She looks so much healthier

[@karendalsadik7119]

Will Hall was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his late teens. He went on a healing journey that changing his diet was important and he included acupuncture, mediation and exercise. He was able to taper off the antipsychotics and is author of Coming off psychiatric medication : a harm reduction strategy. It is free online I think Will Hall’s website and at the Icarus project.

This is NOT the kind of food offered in mental hospitals. Why not?

[@drunkensquirrel7545]

I'm guessing it's because of a) cost and/or b) they don't want patients getting better.

[@Snowinginstardew]

bc hospitals aren't evidence based to treat acute mental health crisis and bc ppl being sent to these places are primarily about social control and not actual health. also voluntary is basically a myth. they are coercing vulnerable ppl ultimately and justifying it with faulty data. they are a medical industrial complex. feeding ppl heavy greasy food is a form of punishment and control and to make ppl feel exhausted and potentate sedation from the sedating drugs they are giving ppl also. also its cheap.

@@drunkensquirrel7545 agreed

[@HeartAliveToday]

​@@drunkensquirrel7545 I agree with you but have trouble believing there's not enough money in that institution! Therefore, I think the latter is more likely the reason.

My doctor vetoed a keto diet for my bipolar condition because it can disrupt Lithium levels. Thoughts?

[@Samsara2408]

Yes it’s a must. This should be first measure along with walks in nature

[@Jannietime1]

I loved eating the Keto way but had to stop because it caused extreme insomnia. This is a very common problem I’ve seen all over the internet. Still wanting a solution because, as I said, I loved the diet.

u can do a little carb loading at night like if u eat under 20g net per day u can eat like 15 g per carbs per day near night

[@Jannietime1]

@@Ravenz-ux7pb thank you but doesn't that defeat the purpose of staying under 20 g/day? I mean doesn't that make your intake 35g/day?

[@Ravenz-ux7pb]

@@Jannietime1 no lol like if ur eating 20g per day, have like 5 g during the day then right before u sleep carb load so have the 15g of carbs right before u go to sleep.

[@Jannietime1]

Oh okay, got it!! I will try that. 😂

What are your thoughts on the acetyl cholinergic system and benzos?

[@indigobunting2431]

Tastes terrible and hard to cook, but I believe you.

Wow

[@blueelisa17]

I am really scared of having high ldl levels. It is crazy how we don't even know what to eat.

[@lululove6175]

High LDL levels is not an indicator of poor health. Read the literature. Listen to Chris Palmer.

[@blueelisa17]

@lululove6175 Dr Palmer is a psychiatrist and I believe this can be scary territory because there are contradictory opinions from literature about this. I went to medical school and I got a really basic superficial lectures concerning nutrition but in endocrinology it was always emphasized the role of hdl and how high ldl over a prolongued amount of time is highly associated with heart disease. I think we should be carefull of not fixing something and impairing something else, and some people might say they are fine now but this builds up over prolongued exposition.

[@thewhiterabbituk]

how can someone be diagnosed with drug induced psychosis, then bipolar ii (no drug test), then bipolar i, then addiction, then schizo affective disorder, then Endometriosis, then hypothyroidism, then BPD, then ehlers danlos syndrome, then ankylosing spondylitis, have 50+ psych hospital stays between 1998 and 2022 and still never have their history of severe childhood exploitation, or aphasia, or domestic violence confirmed? genuine query. where's the duty of care?

[@heathergasser2053]

Anything that gets people off of the ultra processed and high sugar foods that are everywhere.

Why is it a surprise to know that the brain and body needs clean, nutrient, dense fuel for max performance? We take better care of our cars than our bodies

[@lukaslanger8077]

Yes but no. Eating my 4000+ kcal daily only with fats and protein doesnt seem all too healthy as well.
