      OK, I’ll bite. What is the “root cause” of depression?https://twitter.com/RangeayM/status/1305503550017925121 …

      "I have depression therefore I am mentally ill." Sorry, no. Depression is a natural, introspective response to feeling down. Can depression alone be a mental disorder? Yes; if you allow it to consume you and don't address the root cause of the depression. #naturopathy

      Good question. Clearly the root cause will vary from person to person. Meds can be helpful but lack of Meds is not a root cause. I'd say Poor diet is a root cause for many and an accelerant for many many more via metabolic disease.https://www.chrispalmermd.com/

      Certain dietary deficiencies can cause depressive symptoms without it being a diagnosed case of depression Otherwise diet is minimal at best. Presumably affecting only those with severe deficiencies in such diet.

      I’d sign up quickly for a safe intervention with this much potential. Problem no Doctor is aware of the potential benefits of Low Carb / Keto. Actually most probably think it’s a bit dangerous.pic.twitter.com/TYzYkoB0j4

      Any treatment claiming to deal with that many conditions is highly suspicious. Cure alls are typical quack material. Not convinced by the safety claim either.

      Correct. That’s why, aside from management of type II diabetes (and even then the claims are often overblown) and some seizure disorders, I’ve always been very skeptical of the claims of the keto brigade.

          🙄 Never claimed anything beyond what’s on the slide. It is accurate. I occasionally try to balance the anti keto brigade 👍 If you think Keto for T2D is overblown you are not familiar with the evidence. What % of those over 45 in the US are prediabetic or diabetic?

          The slide just claims there are studies, of course it is accurate. That doesn't mean the studies are correct or high quality or more than initial findings.
