Welcome!
This is a safe place to discuss, vent, and share information about bipolar disorder. It is also a place for peer support and comfort.
Please use empathy and common sense when posting and commenting. We are all in this together, let’s stay kind and civil.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
- If you are having thoughts of suicide, please call a friend, family member, 988 in the US, or find transportation to your closest emergency room (call 911 in the US).
- Please be sensitive when discussing suicide and self-harm. Posts threatening suicide are subject to immediate removal.
- Posts containing medical advice or diagnosing others are not allowed. If you are posting about traditional or alternative treatment methods, please keep the post focused on your personal experience.
- We do not allow promotion, solicitation, or affiliate links. For interviews, surveys, and studies, please contact the moderators.
- Harassment of any kind is not tolerated. Do not harass any user for any reason including treatment plan/medication adherence, race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, etc.
- You may post bipolar memes and jokes as well as serious content. This rule may change later at the community’s discretion.

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.
