In three separate animal studies in which depression was treated with the keto diet, all three studies showed some evidence of antidepressant-like qualities with the keto diet. In a fourth study, the keto diet was shown to successfully treat animals who had anxiety. (1/2)

In studies on humans, keto was used to treat depression and bipolar disorder. While the sample sizes of these studies were small, most participants showed reduced symptoms of depression. The mood stabilizing effects of the keto helped manage bipolar disorder.- The Science of Keto

Keto works, there’s no doubt about that. However, most will find it difficult to maintain long term and revert back to their old habits. I explore this topic in my book “The Science of Keto.” Ultimately, the best diet is the one you can keep long term.
There are very few human populations whose diets are naturally like the keto diet. One of the closet populations are the Inuit of Canada. The diet of the Inuit is high in fat, primarily from fish or mammals, such as seals or whales. (1/3)

In 2017, the life expectancy for the overall Canadian population was 79 years for men and 83 years for women. The Inuit had the lowest life expectancy of any subgroup, with 64 years for men and 73 years for women [4]. (2/3)
