Nutritional ketosis, or a keto diet, could help improve symptoms of mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and more. But please don’t start a keto diet to treat mental illness without first understanding common pitfalls and risks. A keto diet alters physiology in ways that could potentially initially worsen symptoms of mental illness. These alterations are typically shortlived but it’s important to manage them carefully, preferably under the guidance of a clinician.
