I’m on antipsychotic medications (aripiprazole depot, maximum dose), on mood stabilisers and strong anti depressants to manage my mental health.

I find that there is no diet that successfully allows me to lose weight (I’ve tried a few).

I was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last few weeks. Directly linked to my mental health meds.

Basically, it’s difficult to succeed on dieting and gain the results you want when you’re on any (but mainly anti psychs) mental health medication.

How much aripiprazole are you on?I don't know if keto diet helps, but if you watch YouTube of Dr Westman's he has helped people reversed diabetes, Dr Chris Palmer and Dr Georgia Ede has been successful with keto for their mental health patients and some people follow their YouTube information too. I Also read the comments to see the listeners have done this with success. However I don't know long-term keto diet good or not. Mainstream Drs seem to say not.

Have you tried any?

I’m on 15mg a day, equivalent. And during relapse period +10 a day for up to 14 days. I relapse every couple of months (approx). I’ll give these videos a go 🤷🏻‍♂️
