What is your approach towards nutrition ? Meaning which exact diet do you expect to help in mental health?

Different person, unrelated to the above advertisement but:

Sometimes any diet.

Mental health struggles can exacerbate, (and be exacerbated by!) forgetting to eat, not wanting to eat,

forgetting or passing up the things that keep you in homeostasis, choosing the less correct things because of an emotional response, a physiological response in a “diminished” state.

I asked because I already know the correct answer, which is "metabolic psychiatry", meaning versions of keto/carnivore/epilepsy-keto diets (the latter is the strongest).
