People. I am a doctor and a former sufferer who got better in 2014 after a huge lifestyle change. I threw everything at it back then and got better. I didn't know what helped exactly.

Listen. I am a urologist, but have a great interest in psychiatry, too. I follow the researches. The KETOGENIC DIET CAN GREATLY AFFECT YOUR BRAIN FUNCTION IN A POSITIVE WAY. I tried it. It made me euphoric, with much less anxiety. A diet!

If you tried everything and didn't found help, give it a go. Be strict with it. And do it at least for 3 months. You cannot do much harm. Your body will very much like it. And brain is an organ. Try it!

this is the thing i dont like about you. instead of coming with something productive, you paste a link of how bad keto diet is.

the psychmeds youre defending all around here have 1 million side/damaging effects. never seen from you a caution about this. eating at mcdonalds long term can cause stomach cancer but short term it can satisfy you. asking the wrong person for the time at the street can result in getting in the head shooted.

just because you think that a diet will not cure your dpdr, doesnt mean that i wont someone else.

also using internet can cause schizophrenia please stop visiting this forum

I was bitter and lazy when replying, but seriously I have considered that a diet could help. There are studies that show that diets might have effects in mental illnesses, like bipolar. I even seriously considered trying a keto diet even as I was reading that page I posted a link to. I was even wondering to myself how I could make a keto diet compatible with my current diet. I was also wondering about fasting a few days ago, because my friend who has schizophrenia advised it to me, he told me that he thinks that he got much better since he stopped eating sugar, for example, although I don't know if I can trust just his experience. I have also already tried probiotics, for example, because someone on the forum said his DPDR stopped every time he took them and his experience still seems very credible to me. So I am not saying that I don't think a diet can help. Maybe a keto diet could help a lot of people actually. So do you know why I posted this link if I am not against trying a diet to cure DPDR? I am curious what you think. Because it seems that when I explain myself you seem to not believe me.
And in fact I would be very happy if people tried more of the solutions that are suggested and came back to report about them instead of saying "yeah yeah, I'm sure this can work, good we have solutions". Do you think a keto diet can help? Will you try it? If you have any positive outcome, and I wish you will, I would be interested to read about it and I would take your experience into account when making my opinion.

Diets like vegetarianism and ketogenesis often end up resulting in healthier outcomes because they circumstantially involve the elimination of less healthy foods, not because their approaches are inherently healthy.

Rather than ketogenic diet people should push healthy eating. The first thing I talk about now is protein quality. The protein in a slice of bread is not equivalent to pea, soy, or animal proteins even if the bread is whole grain. Look at the protein target for your weight and achieve that. If your protein is from something like beans or lentils you can account for it less. If it's from bread and it's less than 5g forget about it. I don't think protein supplementation from protein isolates will kill you, rather it's a convenient and fast way to get protein. All of this has to do with amino acid profiles. When you eat proteins in a sense you're eating animo acids. Minimally processed animal protein including dairy and eggs has the best amino acid profile followed by pea and soy.

The next thing to note is your body can only absorb so much protein at once, so eating too much at once defeats the benefit especially if you're not on steroids.

Finally, carbs are okay especially if you're mentally or physically working, just count your calories and weigh them against your caloric needs. Carbs increase physical and mental performance, which in sports is called carb loading.

Healthy eating >>> Ketogenic diet

Fad diets are inherently stupid. A little bit of rudeness is warranted. That's not to say ketogenic eating is necessarily unhealthy. Diets like vegetarianism and ketogenesis often end up being healthy because they circumstantially involve the elimination of less healthy foods, not because their approaches are inherently healthy.

You know me as someone who isn't pushing off label med usage to be the cure. It certainly isn't the cure, at least not with our current psychopharmacological lineup, and even the posters pushing for off label med usage know this.

I benefitted from off label med usage but it was a protocol for PTSD, not depersonalization.

I've done keto, paleo, straight no sugars, basic proteins and eggs, non-wheat flour and ancient grain diets with vegetables and supplements. Never helped. I'm sure it works for a lot of people and if you want to try it, by all means. But eating healthy doesn't simply fix chemical imbalances in our brains. Adrenal dysfunction is harmful, but not the sole cause.
