Those who know me have heard me say, in very much a Paul Revere way, “a book on this is coming.” Well — a book on this is COMING! Thank you @ChrisPalmerMD for EVERYTHING you are doing to promote safer and more effective treatments for mental illness. So excited for this.
I am so thrilled that #BrainEnergy will be published Nov 2022! This book integrates the biological, psychological, and social sciences into one framework. #Mental disorders are #metabolic disorders, and with this new understanding comes #hope and a path to healing.
@ChrisPalmerMD OK, I’ll play! BD? I think under the DSM that BD is “one and NEVER done.” One episode meeting criteria for the dx means it’s a lifetime label. The assumption is one can never recover from it under the DSM. I don’t think that’s true of the otters listed. Isn’t SZ the same?
@JanetENutrition I’m that parent. 🙋♀️Whenever I hear “treatment resistant,” I push back that isn’t true when the treatment is right. And then what do you call it when conventional “treatments” make the illness worse?
@ChrisPalmerMD Oh my gosh. I saw two doctors today including YOU and I did not know today was national Dr Day! From my perspective, you are definitely one of the finest. 💐🏆🏅🏅🎖️This made me wonder whether about national lawyers day. I had my doubts, but I found out there IS such a thing. 😅
@KetoCounselor These look great and I will support your work by ordering them. I think the daily affirmations one looks a little better for the young adult age group, so I will definitely be looking for that one when it’s available. Kudos to you for the idea!
@KetoCounselor Oops, just noticed the “coming soon” piece. When do you think this will be available and how can we order one? Thank you for creating it!
@KetoCounselor What a great idea! Is this available? I have a son who has been in the hospital for some time now who does well on a therapeutic ketogenic diet and just recently got back into therapeutic levels. Would love to give him this ro reinforce his treatment plan. Thx!
@ChrisPalmerMD For anyone paying attention, this would just bring us one step closer to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World where euthanasia was just a way of life, or more poetically a way of death. And that book was written not as a playbook but to warn against things like this!
@DrEricRodgers@IainCampbellPhD@GeorgiaEdeMD Tell that to the people currently treating hospitalized people — at McLean Hospital!!!!!!!! I’m not sure everyone had received the memo.
@Sameyeam1000@janellison@Metabolic_Mind What exactly are your credentials? Are you a licensed doctor? You can keep calling me names I guess but it makes me wonder what your qualifications are for the expertise you are purporting to have in this space.
@Sameyeam1000@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Thanks for calling me a dummy. At least now we know you are here to troll. I’m no dummy but I did give you the benefit of the doubt! I’ll just follow the (growing) evidence for metabolic treatments for mental health which I’ve witnessed myself as helpful when meds fail. ✅
@janellison@ChrisPalmerMD@Metabolic_Mind Thank you Jan for all your work to publish and shed more light on this important work. It is life changing and thankfully hospitals are starting to recognize this as the evidence based intervention it is! Still a long way to go but the ship is turning. Thank you!!!
@janellison@Sameyeam1000@Metabolic_Mind @ Sam. No one in theis space has ever suggested jumping off meds to follow a keto diet. It’s about adding metabolic interventions which in some cases will reduce the side effects of meds to increase (dramatically sometimes) function. It can be life changing!
@bigfatsurprise Warning of ketosis as a side effect of the ketogenic diet is laughable. That’s how I read that “warning.”Even phrased as this black box warning doesn’t make it any less dumb. Anyway, the opinion is from a very qualified doctor may she RIP as opposed to the *volunteers* at TED
@ChrisPalmerMD Nice shot! Please say you are going to fix the world and paradigm in psychiatry! #plzfix. 🙏. It’s so broken! Getting better in spots but still way too hard for families to manage deep in the trenches. Thanks for spreading the knowledge.
