I have gone on and off keto many, many times with no pattern in timing or duration. Each time, t he psychotic symptoms emerge and recede with the same quality, in the same amount of time and so on. There is no other pattern in anything that might also cause this. People are not known to go in and out of severe psychotic symptoms so regularly and suddenly in the absence of drug use. It cannot be a coincidence that my symptoms nap to ketosis without exception. it absolutely warrants some kind of inquiry at the very least. I don’t take drugs. I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t have any encounters of any kind with psychoactive substances. I’m smart enough and well educated enough to recognize “confounding factors” and it’s extremely frustrating to be disregarded after all my careful thought and effort.

What's your theory about the mechanism in Ketosis is affecting you?

My first thought was about Ketosis being used to treat epilepsy, but Ketosis can DRASTICALLY change the quality of your sleep.

Maybe you just needed the extra sleep, or deeper sleep that you are getting while on Keto.

I've taken maybe 10 medications for depression. Ketosis was more effective for me than probably 8 of them.

I have no idea. If I had to guess it would be metabolic problems with neurons that can’t use sugar or an inflammatory thing. But I haven’t got any idea what it might be. Maybe we’ll know someday.

I suspect a connection with the intestinal flora. Bacteria in the intestinal flora are able to synthesize all kinds of neurotransmitters from carbohydrates.

I myself become very lethargic under a normal carbohydrate-containing diet. On low carb I have a lot of motivation and a lot of energy.
