This retrospective case report presents the use of a carnivore ketogenic diet by a subject with schizophrenia, supported by a nutritional therapy practitioner, resulting in remission. The narrative describes how ketogenic metabolic therapy can be implemented and optimized in difficult socio-economic circumstances, something not previously reported in the literature. Compliance with diet is reported using glucose and ketone blood markers. The qualitative impact of the therapy is explored from the subject’s perspective as well as the potential for collaboration between nutritional and mental health practitioners to help implement and sustain ketogenic therapies.

As a result, he had to move out of the family home to a new geographic location and started using cannabis as a coping strategy. He began experiencing negative thoughts, his behavior became more erratic, and he started experiencing psychotic episodes.

I've heard other stories about cannabis usage being related to psychosis. Apparently there are different strains of cannabis and everyone responds differently to each, so it's not clear what effects it has on someone until they use it. Because of this, I've never had the courage to try.

At least in the case study presented, cannabis use started after the person had significant problems. So I don't know if it's causal or not, but I don't think it helped

At least in the arena of metabolic mind connection, we know cannabis gives people extreme Munchies, and they eat a bunch of junk. Which probably doesn't help the metabolism of their brain, so maybe that's why they have more episodes
