Replicate before I care. And I have bi-polar, so skin in the game.

Anecdotal data is not useful for a peer reviewed study.

I mean the person in the comment above could do the experiment - go on a keto diet - and see if it makes him feel better. If it worked it would be useful for him. Completely seperate from any other studies

Keto diets can be dangerous and should not be attempted without discussing it with your doctor. The commenter was saying they won't bother considering it until there is more information. Which is a smart idea.

Studies have shown keto is beneficial for bipolar for over a decade. I think this newest data is just extending it to schizophrenia.
