It’s not going to improve your mental illness, really. Like eating healthy doesn’t change every aspect of your mental illness.

Now I eat carbs but like before don’t eat chocolate or chips, candies or fried food. I took 4x 15% ldopa mucuna pills yesterday, slept really good. I was going to not take my AP but took it an hour late, no symptoms. The supplement says 1-2 pills a day but to see positive effects I needed 7 which worsened positive symptoms. At 4 pills, low dose, it makes me feel good kinda like a natural antidepressant that doesn’t make me manic or psychotic.

I am on the waiting list of the pdoc who wanted me to try Modafinil. I will try it once I am in contact with that pdoc. Hope its effects are better than this supplement as supplements are much weaker than prescription meds.
Diet may not help SZ symptoms directly, but changes in eating habits can lead to increased energy, reverse health issues, and combat obesity.
Basically, if you eat right, you’ve got a great chance of feeling energized, healthier, and more confident.
Which in turn, can definitely alleviate those positive symptoms and get your momentum back to where you want it to be.
Easier said than done (and I could certainly take a page from this book at times 
), but it’s doable for sure.
Keep going

Water dense foods like soup are good, but vegetable broth soups and not cream soups loaded with dairy and cheese (calories). Soups lower in carbs as well.

if you address your weight issue With a 12 step program you will get support, Lasting friendship, spirituality, basically a good active life, without overeaters anonymous I would be pretty much 16 stone by now, and would have died of my problems my basic eating disorder it is possible to have an eating disorder and depression and psychosis don’t give up it’s not the end

I don’t see the link to this with eating. I don’t have an eating disorder.

How the hell do you know? it’s not defined by excessive vomiting
the eating disorder that makes you overweight is called compulsive overeating… meds is a basic excuse… everything can be done to combat this killer illness
I don’t eat too much. My problem is that I stay in bed 24/7, its why I gained weight now 310lb. On Abilify my negative symptoms were better so was going to the gym daily, I was eating more than now daily mcdonald but was still 110lb less.

Obesity is also about physical activity. Trust me even if you eat little you willl gain tons of weight if you stay in bed 24/7 like me.

À healthy diet doesn’t improve sz, but it does make you feel better because you’re healthier and have more energy.
Imo, it’s still worth to diet. You shouldn’t give up so easily when things get harder. That’s the moment you have to get up and fight harder.
