Chronic Schizophrenia Put into Remission with Ketogenic Diet

Ketogenic diets have been prescribed for people with seizure disorders (&quot;epilepsy&quot;) for decades. Given some psychological disorders are also treated with anti-convulsants, it&#x27;s speculative, but a high fat diet causes a lot of physiological and hormonal (testosterone&#x2F;cortisol leveks) changes that the possibility of it affecting brain function doesn&#x27;t seem ridiculous.<p>Someone with high anxiety who has not tried strenuous exercise with a high fat&#x2F;protein low carb diet would seem to be leaving opportunity on the table as well.

I feel like ketogenic diet is the holy grail of health. Having followed a &quot;relaxed&quot; version only 3 months now and I can honestly say that I have never felt better. Depression, anxiety, motivation, sleep, fitness has all improved for the better.<p>Having said that, the &quot;diet&quot; really makes you realize how hard it is to avoid any kind of sugars in food, if you dont prepare it yourself. It is insane!

This is garbage. Contrary to popular belief, remission is in fact common in schizophrenia, so n=2 demonstrates precisely nothing. In addition, there is no evidence that schizophrenics have any brain dysfunction other than that caused by taking neuroleptics for decades.

<i>It is well known that people with schizophrenia are three times more likely to develop diabetes.</i><p>Well. That&#x27;s significant.<p>Diabetes is linked to inflammation. So are a lot of brain issues.<p>I actually came here to note that the brain is 60% fat, so it seems reasonable to assume that the amount and kind of dietary fat would matter a while lot for a wide variety of brain related issues.
