For over a decade people with bipolar have been sharing their experiences with ketosis on public forums. Reports are becoming much more frequent now. Here is one posted today.

@joannamoncrieff Another simplistic response: several of our group report remission of symptoms following adopting low carb or keto diets. “Patients” read books by @ChrisPalmerMD or @GeorgiaEdeMD and decide whether or how to experiment on themselves. When we observe improvements we begin to hope

There seems to be a tendency to replace the chemical imbalance theory with a metabolic imbalance theory, which looks just as simplistic

You’ve heard that fat and cholesterol are bad for you. That eating eggs, butter, and red meat will clog your arteries. But what if I told you this belief was built on one man's manipulated data and bad science? Here's the truth:

@AhmadRehanKhan @jonathanstea @sanilrege @chrisaikenmd @sulmoney @AllenFrancesMD @awaisaftab Surveys here in Scotland suggest a very high level of trust and satisfaction with patients’ regular psychiatrists. The issue is there aren’t enough medical students choosing to enter the profession. Beating on them on X isn’t helpful. voxscotland.org.uk/2024/12/18/pre…

𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝟭𝟬𝟭: Dr. Jessica Taylor is particularly noted for her propensity to employ blanket statements that overgeneralize certain negative practices, thereby attributing fault to the entire discipline of psychiatry. Additionally, she has a tendency to misquote information without providing any supporting evidence. This Statement is dangerously wrong without any clinical or research data. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ 𝑷𝒔𝒚𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑳𝑻𝑯 𝑪𝑨𝑹𝑬. 𝑷𝒔𝒚𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕. THIS STATEMENT IS INCORRECT: I have attached a simple #ChatGPT and #Gemini Search to prove it. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑼𝑵 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑾𝑯𝑶 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒔𝒚𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒚. She refrains from permitting others to comment on or quote her posts, likely due to an apprehension of engaging in debates, as her arguments lack substantial validity. Alongside the majority of physicians, I express disapproval of coercive practices in psychiatry, and it is noteworthy that the prevalence of such practices has significantly decreased in the United States. #MentalHealthAwareness #depression #anxiety #mentalhealthstigma #MedTwitter #MedEd #psychtwitter #psychiatrist #NewYear2025
