Ketogenic therapy, commonly in the
Ketogenic therapy, commonly in the form of a keto diet, is often known for having more “side benefits” than “side effects.” However, it is a powerful medical intervention and, as such, not entirely without risks. In some instances, individuals transitioning onto a keto diet to treat a mental health condition, like bipolar or schizophrenia, can experience symptoms of hypomania.
There are many strategies to increase the safety of keto and mitigate potential risks, including slowly easing into a ketogenic diet, monitoring sleep, having a bridge medication available, and always having expert guidance from a clinical care team.
In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher discusses the risk of hypomania with two experts in the metabolic psychiatry field: Harvard-trained psychiatrist and author of the groundbreaking book, Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede, and Nicole Laurent, LMHC, a counselor who trains non-prescribers on assisting patients with ketogenic therapy. According to Dr. Ede, hypomania and other unwanted psychiatric symptoms are uncommon when implementing ketogenic therapy. She recommends that people not allow these risks to dissuade them from trying this form of treatment.
