"Saying most mental illnesses are related to metabolism is reductionistic." Only if you think this chart is "reductionistic."

This a study of ketogenic therapy in young people with mood disorders, please share with anyone who may be interested! cmhrc.org/keto-long-stud…

I was sleeping in a lifeguard tower on a beach in Los Angeles. I had a bag of clothes, my laptop, and about three weeks of homelessness behind me. And I was floridly psychotic. I woke up in a Denny's one morning with no memory of how I got there. I was posting rap videos on Snapchat because I believed I was going to be famous. My dad found me at a Starbucks. My parents had been looking for me for days. That was the beginning of my fourth and final psychiatric hospitalization. I was 21. Three years later my mom found research on ketogenic diets for bipolar disorder. I went ketogenic. The mania stopped. I haven't been hospitalized since. I'm telling you this because somewhere, right now, there is a parent who has been told their child is treatment-resistant. That this is just going to be their life. There is hope in ketogenic and metabolic therapies.

Severe mental illness can ruin a life. Effective treatment can restore it.

Can a ketogenic diet really improve mental health? In this video, @bschermd breaks down a new piece published in @nytimes highlighting some of the existing early research looking at ketogenic therapy for serious mental illness alongside several success stories from members of the Metabolic Mind community. We are thankful to the many incredible researchers and practitioners who have helped pioneer the field of metabolic psychiatry, including those featured in this article like @ChrisPalmerMD, @ShebaniMD, and @IainCampbellPhD. We're also grateful to the many individuals who have been willing to openly share their personal experiences to inspire others who could benefit from ketogenic therapy.

Thank you for all that you do, Jan. No-one has been a stronger advocate for patients or has done more to advance research into genuinely new treatment modalities in psychiatry.

1/ Today, @alicegcallahan from the New York Times @nytimes published an article on ketogenic diets and serious mental illness. It feels fitting. (link below) It was exactly ten years ago today that our son @matthewbaszucki, at age 19, was involuntarily admitted to Stanford's
