It’s pretty interesting! I listened to a medical history podcast about keto years ago.

Apparently the diet started as a treatment for epilepsy. Way back in history people noticed that if you were inclined to have seizures and were starving, you had fewer seizures. In the early 1900s there were experiments to figure out how to reduce seizures without, you know, starving them to death. keto!
I wouldn’t be shocked if keto had some kind of effect on the brain that helps with schizophrenia, but there’s no real info yet.
There are an increasing number of case studies for Bipolar Disorder, as well as pilot trials. If you’re interested, there is a YouTube channel called Keto Bipolar with interviews that you could take a look at.
It’s a treatment for people who don’t respond to medicine.

Interesting. Just to correct you though, BPD is Borderline Personality Disorder not Bipolar.
Thank you for the correction, I’ll edit my post.
As a bipolar person I tried the keto diet. It made me super manic and I ended up in the hospital so ymmv
