Does anybody know a therapy diet or anything that can help mental illness I heard the keto diet cures mental illness there’s supposedly a lot of science backing it up

I am doubting that. Maybe it helps in some regards, but replacing aps with a keto diet sounds unlikely.

I went to the doctor years ago and he prescribed me b vitamins for my mental illness. I’m taking vitamin b complex now. My voices have been less frequent but it’s too early to really say
There’s no reliable substitutes for replacing medication to help with psychosis.
Keto diets can help stabilize mood a bit but that’s as far as it goes
Stay on your meds

I don’t wanna take meds anymore do you have any ideas all I’ve ever heard that has worked for some is ketogenic diet
I know we’re not allowed to talk about pseudoscience but back 10 years ago we had a lot more “I can cure this” websites idk why they were taken down I guess some of them were ■■■■■■■■ idk
No one wants to take Ap’s. Its a question of the alternative being much worse.

I’m not trying to start arguments however I don’t think my mood disorder symptoms are real I think I possibly exaggerated some of it
I read 10 years ago that certain tea that was quite expensive cured everything from depression to cancer the site got taken down
Pseudo Science is a big business
It’s one big con job
I stay clear from it all

I honestly believe certain therapies like ACT or CBT can yield great results if properly done by a skilled professional, if and only if the patient has a recovery mindset and is willing to cooperate.
However such therapies should complement, not replace medication.

If it works it would be nice but yeah a lot of these “cures” are scams I think if I eat right and exercise I could get off of lamictal I don’t encourage anyone else do it but still
Maybe I’m conflicted weather lamictal is even helping some days I feel like it’s getting me out of the suffering I used to have also some days I wonder if I need it
Well I remember feeling better without lamatrogine they only put me on it because I got worse but I have been fine without it so I’m wondering the same
Idk I’d say talk to the doctor about it mind you I’m being hypocritical I think I’m gonna atleast wait to see my therapist then talk to them about it
I don’t often get to see the doctor. Might talk to the nurse.

You may be able to come off bp and cholesterol meds by modifying diet and exercise but not with psych meds. Nothing can replace psych meds unless you are cured by chance e.g. your illness gets better. Getting off psych meds is extremely rare especially for sz

I was on blood pressure and cholesterol meds before losing 55kg. Now I don’t take bp meds as my bp went too low and I was fainting. I still take cholesterol med although my cholesterol is very low almost abnormally low, idk why my dr won’t take me off it he thinks I will gain the 55kg back. My weight is stable though, I am not gaining.
