Yes and also no.

Antidepressant injury and antidepressant tapering injuries are real. Benzodiazepine injuries like Benzodiazepine Induced Neurological Dysfunction and things like chronic akathisia and other protracted medication injuries are real. Antidepressants are an even bigger offender of akathisia. Antipsychotics are the worst. Akathisia is brain injury not a side effect. No one tells you taking care of your mental health does not mean taking “medications” if you are smart. Medications cause chemical imbalances they do not solve them. I paid with my life for not knowing. Find Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring psychiatry and hear about his work tapering patients injured by their medication. Find Nicole Lamberson PA and hear about her medication injury and her work for the film “Medicating Normal”. Find Mark Horowitz and hear about his antidepressant injury and his work with hyperbolic tapering and the Maudsley Depresscriping Guidelines for Psychiatric Medication.

I had no idea medication injury like this existed or would even be allowed. I thought it was my condition worsening and it was the medications doing it. They turned my issues into neurological ones.

I have a family memeber with schizophrenia and how can i ask them what they see or hear without dismissing they're relaity. I know what they see and hear is very real to them, but I am scared to ask questions in a wrong way. Do you just "What do you see, or What do you hear?" "How many people do you hear?"

Lauren I just watched the documentary called "Memories for Life: Reversing Alzheimer's" that if you are not familiar with I believe you would find quite interesting. Part of it involves a keto diet… And addressing the underlying causes of the disease. It's promising… Of course another facet of Mental Health.

Hi Lauren, hey absolute top work you’re doing. I don’t want to stir things up too much. I get stirred up quite easily and I then did that to others. My diagnosis was Schizoaffective. I’m now identifying with neurodiverse as a catch all term for everything. I had followed some channels. One particular chap said that any so called therapy are just acting classes on how you can act normal. I must say that some of us could get acting awards on how we have tried to fit into society over our lives. When will they ever learn.

Some mental illnesses are more exogenous than endogenous in nature, generally triggered by environmental issues, mostly anxiety and depression.

Please get advice from a doctor. Not YouTube videos.

Mercury poisoning and other heavy metals like copper is a major cause of mental illness. Look up orthomolecular medicine. Linus pauling.

I soooo agree.🥰

its not always metabolic. black and white thinking is a curse

Your nose looks enormous. Are you sure this diet is working?

I am 50 and Schizoeffective. I am extremely high functioning. I live, drive and work independently. I take a Ablify injection that manages it so that l live symptom free. At this point l would not want to try anything else. What you need to understand that treatment for Schizoeffective or Schizophrenia is a very individual thing. So Keto may not be for everyone.

It would make sense! While i believe there are many pathways to mental illness together with things like inflammation, i believe that brain metabolism has to be somewhat connected to body metabolism. Still, the body is complex and for my depression i believe it's a good idea to treat the symptoms with medication before further going after the possible root causes for years and years just continuing to suffer.
