- A new study reports a ketogenic diet can significantly improve depression, bipolar, and schizoaffective disorders. More evidence continues to accumulate showing the potential use of ketogenic diets in various mental health conditions. It's time to take this seriously. Ongoing research will soon provide even more data to support if keto diets should be a standard treatment option.

I suffered from anxiety for years and nothing calmed my brain more than the ketogenic diet! It even got me through the pandemic lockdown because I had the energy to learn new and exciting things. I have since transitioned to low carb diet (under 50-60 grams), but I will never go back to eating sugar or processed foods.
I have anxiety and wished I could get into ketosis. I can follow keto but not forever maybe 50% of the time. I'll do this and see if this calms my anxiety.
Uggh the guilt, I know this information and have experienced the effects of low carbs, it definitely reduces anxiety. Now my anxiety is back and scary why? Sugar and carbs 🤦🏾♀️
Keto was great for me but switching from keto to carnivore /paleo keto did things for my self-talk that therapy never could
Ketones + neurological stuff = improvements (as a general rule). Seizures, mental illness, migraines, neuropathic pain, chronic pain, dementia ... Your wider nervous system THRIVES on ketones. So do lots of other tissues. As a med student in the 1970s, I was taught that ketones were the preferred fuel for brain, heart and (most of) kidney. How did the message get so screwed up?
Money, darling.... selling drugs is far more profitable than veggies, fat and protein...
@@montycora 👍
I used to get mad about everything!!
After being on keto for 6 months, I don’t have anger problems anymore!!!!!
It works guys!!!!
improvements started after 6 months or earlier?
@@p.m.8316 it was a progression.
By the end, I was totally different
@@MrRagweed great!
I'm diagnosed bipolar II, but had far more depression, mild paranoia, irritability, and anxiety than I did mania. I went keto for 7 months and all of those improved. However, I then went carnivore (a year in August) and my symptoms all but vanished. No paranoia, depression, and seldom anxiety and irritability, and then only if there's an actual reason or I've eaten off plan. So if you're keto and still not seeing full improvement you might try carnivore.
Lack of processed foods could be playing a huge role in symptom reduction.
@@patriciacove1220 I completely cut out processed foods, seed oils, sugar, and gluten for over a year before going carnivore. My results are absolutely due to going carnivore.
@@HappilyCarnivore what meds where you taking? Do you manage to reduce them?
@@stefanosazzini3852 For a long time I was taking Zoloft and Depakote, but I was getting them through our county mental health place because I was low income and the woman that gave out the meds treated me really shitty so I ended up quitting there, thus quitting the meds.
For years after that I treated myself with both supplements and avoidance. I was taking 200 mg of 5HTP three times a day, 2000mg of Valerian root, Kava Kava when I was extra anxious, Vitamin D, omega 3, just to name a few, plus I would drink Passionflower tea before bed. I learned that if I went to bed in a calm state I was more likely to wake up in a calm state, and whatever state I woke up in largely dictated how I would be the rest of the day.
I was also on disability for my mental disorder, so not having to hold down a job helped. I still struggled a lot, but doing all of the above at least kept me from having a completely breakdown.
I do still take Vitamin D and fish oil, plus Valerian root at bedtime, but I've cut back how much I take, and I've quit all of the others.
It's not working for me. What are your macros?
I lost a close family member, age 31, to mental illness 6 years ago. I only wish this type of nutritional intervention was used to help at the time. The standard interventions made it worse.....
People and their families struggling with serious mental illness go through hell on earth. What a miracle this could be if compliance could be obtained. Thank you for shedding light on this subject.
boom, I was just telling a family member who has been living in a home most their life about this and they refuse to do this diet. Albeit the home has a diet program that is not Keto or Carnivore for the patients who live there. Drives me absolutely nuts to not be able to help a loved one. Its a terrible feeling.
I suffer from panic and anxiety disorder, thus the reason I’m here. I feel terrible for my family to have to go through this with me. I wish they didn’t have to. I’m also always afraid that I’ll end up alone due to this. The mind never stops. I pray anyone reading this finds the strength to push forward and win this battle.
I've had keto take my depression down from a 8-9 to a 1-2 for the last 10 years.
The last piece of the puzzle was a super high absorption B complex.
Going keto to lose weight had the amazing side effect of greatly reducing clinical depression. I’m forever grateful and keep my carbs lower, especially sugar carbs.
Keto then carnivore sure helped me after a concussion.. After 5 accidents and left with concussion each time, this last 1 had me very very anxious.. Not belly breathing, not able to meditate, headaches etc.. Now I'm just about back to normal. Comparing keto then carnivore to when I was eating healthy foods but a few carbs, I healed much faster, these last 2 concussions.. My brain unscrambled.. I can even beat my hubby with maths sometimes.. Which for me is big.. Cross fingers I'll not have any more.. Lol.. Thank you for all your work..
I'm still adjusting to the massive amount of energy I have from 7 weeks of keto and intermittent fasting, but my depression is GONE. The jury is still out on my anxiety, but I feel I have more control over my thoughts now. Trying not to annoy everyone talking about the keto cult I've joined, but it's hard not to when there are so many benefits.
SAME I just wanna talk about it all the time!
So do I! My partner thinks i’m obsessed! I know I AM! The improvements in my mental health have been so drastic!
Not only does the ketogenic diet help mental disorders but it also helps chronic pain as well.
It seems we were all taught from a young age that carbohydrates should make up the majority of our dietary consumption (remember that food pyramid?) and many decades ago sugar companies paid for a whole lotta studies to prove that they were okay and that fat was the bad thing? and notice how people's health has deteriorated because of this?
Think outside the box here. It's intentionally this way.
My 9-1/2 year old son developed PANS at age 3 deteriorated to nonverbal and then diagnosed Autism. When he got covid the first time became wildly aggressive, anxious, with OCD like behaviors. Then the 2nd Covid exposure had a break of Mania wildly aggressive, and first time absence seizure. His most recent blood work is borderline metabolic abnormality.
I can’t find a doctor willing to work with him. But, I am going to give it a go. I know there has to a metabolic problem in the brain as every major sickness deteriorates his condition more. Thank you all for providing a possible path to health. ❤
How is your son? My son went from normal to not quickly also. Talking to nothing but mumbling to himself. Unable to do anything he did before basically. Diagnosed autistic also.
I strongly support a low carb ketogenic or carnivore lifestyle. However, I found meditation practice, letting go of the Ego, is a better approach for me in addressing anxiety and depression. Identifying with thoughts and Ego leads to needless suffering. May you be at Peace.
And you did that in meditation?
Please can you explain how to let go of your ego ? Thank you
@@brianwalls9253 , I will comment but rely on the more Enlightened ones. One cannot “do anything “, nor actively seek. The Ego is an illusion. How does one eliminate what is not there?

As a psychiatric NP I have been recommending some form of LCHF to my patients for a while, these findings are very exciting!!
Hi. If you have a patient that doesn't quite get the results you'd hope for you might suggest a full carnivore diet. I'm diagnosed bipolar II with mild psychosis, and the last several years I haven't really had much mania (probably because I was so physically sick and tired), but a constant low-level depression (which always worsened during the winter and summer, so I'm guessing undiagnosed SAD), mild paranoia, and fairly severe irritability and anxiety. I was keto for 7 months and all of those improved, but they didn't completely go away. I switched to carnivore 11 months ago and all of my symptoms have vanished but some very occasional anxiety and irritability, and when those do happen they can be attributed to something, either life events or eating off plan.
Also, I found out aspartame is a big no. I had cut it out years ago, and a few months ago I stupidly decided to have a diet soda, got addicted to them, thought my mood disturbances were the caffeine, switched to root beer, and still had the same issues. I finally talked myself into quitting and I'm back to almost no symptoms.
I know carnivore sounds extreme, and we've been taught too much meat is unhealthy, but I gave it a try because I also had severe bloating and exhaustion that was only somewhat improved on keto. I've since learned that carnivore is a very healthy and healing diet in a magnitude of ways, and all of the things we've been told about red meat and saturated fat are misguided at best, and usually just plain wrong. Keto saved me from very likely an early death (and honestly between the mental illness and how bad I felt physically, I low-key hoped for such), but carnivore gave me my life back.
Sorry this was so long.
@@HappilyCarnivorehow to relief constipation on carnivore and still you add fat in your meals or just eat high fat meat?
@@furqanaslam8057 I haven't experienced constipation, but those who have have recommended adding more fat to your meals and/or taking magnesium citrate.
@@furqanaslam8057 But also you should be eating high fat meat even if you're not constipated. At minimum you should be getting 60% of your calories from fat, although most people do better with 70%, and others with 80%.
My daughter is 31 and has been schizoaffective since she was 17. This illness has robbed her of her adult life. She has spent most of the last 3 years in mental healthcare facilities where she would eat what they made but they do alter what they serve for health or religious purposes. She asked to be put on a ketogenic diet and they refused, or rather, the dietitian refused. Hopefully when she gets on her own she can try it.
A good approach could be to tell doctors I'm reducing my carbs by not eating sugar and processed foods. That type of approach (low carb or reduced carb) can't really be argued within the traditional medical community.
She should sue them, she’s entitled to a healthy brain
The refusal of a keto diet is disgusting to say the least
Remove her from any facility if they're refusing your diet requests - especially if the diet is for improvement of her mental stability- which I assume is reason for her last 3 yrs. Of subjection to any institution where she has no say so or control over anything- let alone her diet choices . Think about it- the institution is making its BILLIONS of dollars off patients, such as your daughter ( 🙏Prayers for her 🙏)- for reasons they can't cure with - "MAGIC-PILLS"- SO along comes A SCIENTIFICALLY proven and monitored Ketogenic Diet ( which has been the #1 choice of diets for years now- its a way of life !!!)
You're saying they refuse this choice to her...It's painfully OBVIOUS TO ME- THAT PARTICULAR INSTITUTION ( And any others that withhold
My reply cut off but I'm sayn these INSTITUTIONS - BIG PHARMA ARE MAKING TRLIONS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP THESE PATIENTS SICK. ...BY REFUSING A KETOGENIC DIET IS PROOF TBEYRE SABOTAGING HER HEALTH- CUZ IF SHE SHOWS ANY IMPROVEMENT ON IT- THEY START LOSING ON PERSCRIBIBING TONS OF TOXIC MEDICINE WITH POSSIBLE DEATH AS A SIDE AFFECT OF MANY PHSYCOSIS MEDS !!!
GET HER OUT OF THERE- IMMEDIATELY AND FEED HER THE KETOGENIC DIET YOURSELF SO YOU PROVE EITHER WAY - IT WORKS FOR HER ( I PRAY 🙏 IT DOES )
OR IT DOESN'T WORK- ( I HIGHLY DOUBT !!! )

That's fascinating! I have been doing a low carb diet for a while and I didn't know about keto. Then I heard about it and everything makes sense to me. I am in my healthiest moment of my life.
The keto diet is life-changing 😍😍Start today, you will thank yourself later !
I can confirm with confidence that the keto diet is an excellent mood stabiliser. Tested it twice on myself. I’m more calm, positive. relaxed, and not anxious.
Thank you for the testimony.
@@meja3858 hey no worries. After experimenting I noticed even a low carb diet (not strict keto) with intermittent fasting does the same thing.
@@nerdnature yes im trying the low carb diet due to my severe anxiety it makes me calm but I cannot make it continuesly. How many months you make it before mental illness gone?
@@meja3858 About 2 to 3 weeks is when I noticed the mental wellness. It’s important to take potassium/magnesium supplements during your low carb diet. Or eat foods rich in potassium and magnesium that are low in carbs.
@@nerdnature thank you for the advise. Are you eating One Meal a day or still 3 meals a day?
Also lots of medications maybe cause insulin resistance or increased blood sugar levels. So like with ADHD where you might have to take the stimulant meds chronically, having the medication side effects and a poor diet is probably a pretty big contributing factor to why so many more people with ADHD go on to develop T-2 diabetes.
I couldn’t hold down a job without my ADHD medication but a ketogenic diet is perhaps EVEN more important for someone like me than for a neurotypical person who doesn’t take medication.
I am diagnosed with Bi-Polar2, dual diagnoses of substance abuse, and many attemps on my own life. To keep it short, KETO has 100% improved my symptoms. I have not reduced my meds because I am scared, but anything that will help my meds is a welcome in my book. Maybe one day I will reduce.
As someone who has been on depression pills you should absolutely try to get off medication. Do it slowly! And if you fail the first time don’t be afraid to try again! 💙💙
hello Christopher from KASEY Vick
They have lists of psychiatrists who are skilled in metabolic psychiatry that can help you weak off!!!! From this UA-cam channel
I would love to know if you have reduced your meds yet? Blessings
Excellent continuing news on this very important topic! i definitely believe there is a role for a low/very low/ketogenic diet in the treatment of mental illness! Thanks so much to all involved in research and education on this 👍🏻
This is such fantastic news, I will look forward to hearing more on the subject. It’s my belief the rise in mental health issues has a direct connection to our poor diet and polluted food sources.
Just eat beef and fish. No more depression. No more anxiety.
I do this, but I do add in occasional chicken and pork, both to switch things up and to be kind to my wallet. But the biggest part of my diet is ground beef, because I feel best on mostly beef, and that's the cheapest beef.
@@HappilyCarnivore try and get grass-fed and oily fish for the essential omega-3
@@happyapple4269 I have made remarkable progress eating grain fed beef, and it's what my wallet can afford. I do eat oily fish, never said I didn't. I only said I also add in some chicken and pork for financial reasons, so obviously grass-fed isn't something I can afford all the time.
I suffer with terrible anxiety in the mornings especially. I just started the diet. I pray it works.
I have Tourette's syndrome and ended up following a keto diet to help blood sugar issues. I do feel a difference in my symptoms, though I don't believe there is any research on this topic.
I heard Andrew Huberman talk about the potential of ketogenic diet and improvement in depression. So I did it. Now I'm off SSRI's.
Can I ask how you did it and how long did it take? Can I ask what you ate?
@@janetdrews525 google ketogenic diet. Pretty much moderate protein high fat. No sugar of any kind. So I ate plenty of cheese, some fatty cuts of meats, some cream etc. Took about a month to come off SSRI. Dose was only 20mg though so not high. If you're on a high dose maybe you do keto and titrate your dose down over several months depending how you feel. I also supplemented Mucuna purines. Give it a go. You've nothing to lose. Good luck.
Great review Bret. Have you ever considered putting a link in the description below of the articles you discuss? Or creating an active link at the end of your discussion for people interested to read the original articles?. I always like to try to make a record of the important articles and save for my records. Thanks again. Great review.
I was wondering about that as well, would be super helpful.
Yes, we need more support resources to help people translate their initial keto therapy into the rest of their life.
I took my 49 year old daughter ( Shannon has epilepsy since age 7) to her yearly check up with a new PCP. Most of our conversation about a keto diet fell on her close minded ears. She said there is a recent study showing that the Mediterranean diet is better then the Ketogenic diet. I dont believe it but would like to research this and who funded it.
Mediterranean is very close to keto. Just delete the bread, reduce the sugary fruits, and it's a very healthy low carb diet. I'd say Mediterranean can be a stepping stone to keto.
@@henrytang2203 Thanks for replying Henry. We are on Ketovore, have been for about 6 months. I know the Mediterranean diet. My question is about finding the study in able to learn who conducted it.
Dr. Scher has done a video on that study!

@@dietdoctor Thank- you for posting this !
I have had what's called "anhedonia" which means inability to experience joy or pleasure around anything in life. It's like being dead. Has anyone had any luck with keto and anhedonia? It's different than major depressive symptoms with sad mood, suicidal thoughts, crying, sleeping, eatng, etc.. Please say it works for that too!
Thank you so much for the work you do! Your saving livelihoods ❤
So excited about this possibility!
0:23 "mental illness is not one thing"
Well, that's true but it is also true that the vast majority of psychiatric and neurologic/neurodegenerative diseases has a strong metabolic component (and many time disrupted metabolism is the _causa vera_ of such an illness)...
I really wish this stuff was common knowledge, for whatever reasons the ones who are most ill often do not have capacity to follow this diet. I hate what the system does to people
I really enjoy these information vlogs...but...what is that thumping that is very annoying. Wondering if it is a hand thumping the desk. Great information which is greatly appreciated.
*Fascinating video. Thank you* 😍
Thank you, you restore my faith in doctors!
is there any episode you have on borderline personality disorder and keto diet effects?
Ive been on Keto diet since Friday and i have more energy, mental clarity, and less depression. Medications (and ive tried a lot!!) dont help much if any.
For my mental health I'm actually thinking about staying on keto forever!! Also, in 6 days ive dropped about 9 pounds. Also im drinking black coffee 2 times per day and having first meal around noon.
Hi, How are you going? Are you still keto?
@@rosariarusso6173 hi sorry for the late reply. Still doing keto and intermittent fasting and I'm down about 28 lbs. I haven't eaten since Tuesday.
Do you have any diet/lifestyle suggestions for treating OCD?
Carnivore diet!
My mood dips in depression got better and my anxiety lowered within a few days of starting keto
Many or even most mental healthcare facilities where the mentally ill are residents are "step-down" meaning the point is to get the residents able to step down to a less restrictive setting such as a group home, & eventually living on their own, making their own choices. Keto is not easy in that in requires discipline to be successful & this is not always easy for the mentally ill for whom much of their lives are about making choices that the rest of us find simple and even eating for them, making their own meals & choosing their food is not simple. Plus they are unlikely to get help from any dietitians or nutritionists with social services for whom most do not view keto as a healthy way of eating.
Absolutely. My brother lives with refractory schizophrenic and bipolar disorder. He lives independently and have very poor choice of diet. His negative symptoms means he is non compliant but I hope this would help.
Has there ever been a study of frontaltedementa and low ketogenic diets?
my thoughts on Ketovore: So 1/2 cup blueberries is 11 grams carbs. So around 2 cups would be 50 grams carbs per day. I likely want to do about 20grams carbs, restrict as much as humanly possible. To make my way as close to possible to have success on carnivore. I was doing 1 green smoothie a day and then 2 meat meals for 1 month and I was feeling great, felt energised and clear headed plus better sleeps waking up refreshed. And mood was way better. So I need to get back to that. Stuff to put in smoothies that is not sweet such as cucumbers and spinach would be my main stay. I would try to do maybe 1/4 cup mixed fruits max. One way to think about it for me is 1/4 cup of greens or fruit per meal per day. It is still miniscule amount, but I wonder if it would help me to stay on carnivore. Or at least start on it successfully. I fell off the wagon last time, starting with a big pot of oatmeal. Thought it wouldnt derail me, but the carb binge led to further of the same, until I was right off the plan
Thank you.
Hello I'm from Greece I suffer from anxiety disorder and I started low carb about two months ago the results were impressive I stopped taking antidepressants a month ago without the slightest sign of anxiety or depression but now for a few days I've been wondering why the anxiety and I don't know why.. are there ups and downs in psychology while you are on this diet and if so when does your mental health condition stabilize?
The brain is the organ with the most saturated fat, so it makes sense it needs fat - that's why it cures epilepsy.
Thank you
This is day 26 doing the keto diet. Im doing it specifically for mood and cognition. Can anyone recommend a support group to help me continue my journey? The discipline is easy for me but keeping up the hope of feeling better is tough to maintain.
There is significant proof that the ketogenic diet improves mental health symptoms. There is a factor of increasing whole foods are effective in reducing processed foods consumed, carb reduction, and gluten-free that may not be accounted for regarding symptom reduction. Of course, ketogenic reduced sugar and carb consumption in order to promote the ketogenic state. Lack of processed foods may play a significant role in symptom reduction.
Please have RCT on keto and cognitive function for healthy individuals?
Was it mentioned or did I miss it - the length in time of the study or how long it took to realize the positive effects? Thanks.
Wasn't a study as such. Was done on real patients who went home when better. Google the title and you will find the study. Just some number 12 of 27 reached clinical remission. All of them in less than 100 days, most even within 50 days. For a few it took 150 or even 250 days to get significantly better. For all participants days on keto: range 15-248 days
@@wocket42 Thanks. Well its good to know for a percentage that they reached clinical remission. Would give some hope to give it a try with nothing to lose but perhaps better mental and physical health!

what is difference between ketogenic diet AND FASTING INDUCED KETOSIS ? AS PER MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS
The diet is a way to remain in ketosis because you need to eat. Benefits of ketosis either way
I’m on keto again, and been doing intermittent fasting, this time I am fat adapted, last week I managed 2 hour eating window. My minds steady without glucose no hunger, but I can’t concentrate on anything, nothing interests me, least of all doing what I need to do, feel jittery and angry . No motivation, no dopamine, just irritated and just getting through the day. I’ve just done so much research, eat good fats, saerkraut, greens, good minerals etc but my mind feels dead. Can’t even go through a yoga routine without crying out with boredom. I’m going to buy a Kit Kat and see if that gives some hope.
Me too, im so irritated!! Doesnt help I have adhd - still going to stick with it though. Want to get MCT oil to help
@@sayedero feel your pain - I’m back on the carbs but it’s not where I want to be
Try doing carnivore diet, I bet your symptoms will improve.
Make sure you’re checking your blood ketones! The level is extremely important for mental health. My sweet spot it 1-2mmol. Under that I still feel a bit mani and over that I feel agitated. It takes a while to get it right.
لديك كبد دهني يا هذا😂
Sleep problem gone with keto, I followed a 3 meals a day with 200 grams carbs to every meal and I got insomnia, switch to keto and I sleep like a damn baby
I really do wonder if it’s about sugar. I think sugar makes me feel horrible even though I love it. it makes me have restless leg syndrome. It irritates my mood. I don’t have a mental illness, but I believe that sugar is that bad for us. So naturally, it would be far worse for someone with mental illness.
Are of the benefits of the diet as a result of the ketogenic diets allowing them to eat less calories…..asking for a friend.
There are a few ways a ketogenic diet can work and it may vary from person to person. For some people it may be a reduction in calories while for others it may be specifically lowering the carbohydrates.

I certainly dont have the same level of emotional instability when on keto.
What about keto pills or multi vitamins?
I feel like I'm the odd one out. My anxiety and OCD got worse. Wonder why? Maybe too much protein?
How many months did you do the diet for?

Hey, one important thing to note is if you were tracking your ketones? if you are in nutritional ketosis, you won't see much difference. You need to be in therapeutic ketosis to start seeing differences. You need at least 2.5 mmol, below that I'm afraid you will only lose weight...

I've been a fan of Diet Doctor for something like four years. You do great work.
However, you folks tend to overuse/misuse the term "ketogenic diet". What you really recommend is better described as a low-carbohydrate diet.
As you know, true ketogenic diets are mostly fat with only a minimum amount of protein.
Diet Doctor (correctly) recommends higher protein.
It is a small thing, but you folks do it repeatedly and often. You might reach a wider (slightly) audience by using more true (and less sensational) language. And you would be setting a good example for the rest of the community.
There is no singular "ketogenic diet". A keto diet is one that results in ketosis. It has more to do with carbohydrate restriction than the amount of protein or fat eaten. There can be a wide range of both protein and fat for most people where they will still be in ketosis when carbs are restricted.
www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto
@@dietdoctor Come on... you KNOW that's not what I meant.
Pretty sure that you also know what a real ketogenic diet is, which is why you say, "low-carbohydrate, sufficient protein" diet sometimes. It's more true, and a better example for the community.
Sheesh. :P

High carb ,high sugar ,low fat for for max wattage and power. Carb up people
I did that for 4 years, starch solution, made me pre-diabetic!!!! Gone carnivore 3 weeks ago
Ketones in the brain 🎉 Glucose in the brain 😢
5 weeks in, absolutely no mental benefits. None.
It depends on the root cause. If your suffering from massive stress, problematic life circumstances or trauma, no diet will ever solve that.
The question is, where are you following the diet properly?
Keto won't change the mental health system in any way. There is more money in it if they do nothing and continue to promote carbs in our diet.
Anyone know if keto and if can help out with tourette's syndrome? Wanna see if i can help my friend with his
As it works for so many individuals for improving health it may be worth trying.
Good luck
