In this video, Dr. Bret Scher shares the latest clinical data on ketogenic therapy for depression, including two new studies showing meaningful improvements, even remission, in people with moderate to severe symptoms. For individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, these findings offer real hope and open the door to a new therapeutic pathway: metabolic interventions that target brain energy.

Having read the top two papers, they key seems to actually track ketones in the study group, self moderating compliance has a huge impact on outcomes.

You are depressed because the world is in flames, jobs are shit, everyone is poor, war is imminent, preventable diseases are taking over, etc? Take some drugs and forget about it

Take some drugs and forget about it

Funnily enough - Ketogenic therapy is the opposite of taking drugs, its removing glucose and seeing a improvement in mental health over a few weeks.

Personally, I prefer more time tested, traditional antidepressants.

Like cocaine.
