Comment on Chronic Schizophrenia Put into Remission with Ketogenic Diet

Comments

Ketogenic diets have been prescribed for people with seizure disorders ("epilepsy") for decades. Given some psychological disorders are also treated with anti-convulsants, it's speculative, but a high fat diet causes a lot of physiological and hormonal (testosterone/cortisol leveks) changes that the possibility of it affecting brain function doesn't seem ridiculous.

Someone with high anxiety who has not tried strenuous exercise with a high fat/protein low carb diet would seem to be leaving opportunity on the table as well.
