I was put on an elimination diet in 1976. I did it for 2 months before we called it ADHD. I have never believed in the chemical imbalance argument. I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2006. I am quite neuro divergent but like my ADHD. I am 68 today. I dropped all drugs, tobacco and alcohol in my teens which was hard. I sleep 9-10 hours. I follow a keto diet and switch often to a mediterean diet. I train with weights and have improved my muscle mass with resistence training 4 days a week. I weigh the same and look better than when I was 20. I was considered not smart enough for higher education and my grades were inconsistent. So, to prove everyone different, I taught myself danish in 6 month and got my Masters in danish in Computer Science. I ran a consultancy and taught internationally. Never use a diagnosis as an excuse for not trying. This doctor is saying that I made the right choices. I know that we have had the solution years before we understood the problem and much discipline and character will reward your efforts in the end. I was also helped a lot by hypnotherapy.

My son was diagnosed with Asperger, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and something else that I donāt remember what it was. I trashed all the written diagnoses & started my own journey in helping my son improving the quality of his life.
We did so many things consistently, from removing gluten from our meals for almost one year to removing all chemicals from my home, my son is now 16, he doesnāt take any medication anymore & he lives a normal life. A little bit on the introverted side but as healthy & happy as he can be. šš¼
There is hope, people.

I did genetic testing last year after numerous health challenges that couldn't be helped. I found out that I have 15 problematic genetic mutations. I am unable to breakdown most vitamins into a bioavailable form. The biggest problem with that is that my body can't make glutathione- the master antioxidant of the body. When I researched glutathione interestingly enough several write ups connected Autism and glutathione. I believe the study said they commonly find little to no glutathione in Autistic patients. I don't believe that I have Autism, but my child does. I also found out I don't make or use dopamine or serotonin correctly. I do have a history of mild depression, a high ACE score, and several autoimmune issues. I take specific formulated vitamins and injections now. I need an abnormal amount of magnesium to manage my nervous system. People need to be more kind as we don't know how everyone is wired. More grace, less hate. ā¤

I was depressed from I was 10 through 25. My psychiatrist started sleeping while he was speaking to me when I went for checkup. I slapped the table and he woke up confused. I was 90% cure that day. I have not taken Prozac and Xanax since I am 25. Now I am 52 yrs. I have cured myself with a process I use called filling the empty space of my mind with active things. Singing, dancing, laughing, relationships, hard work, exercises, painting, cleaning, praying, meditation, gardening,cooking,speaking how I feel, protecting myself child rearing and many more.

I saw Chris Palmers visit on Huberman lab a year ago, and hopped on the ketogenic diet as a last ditch effort to cure my numerous mental health issues and physical issues - and if this wasn't going to work, I was ready to kill myself. And it worked. Adhd, aspergers, arthritis, parasomnias, daily panic attacks, depression, general anxiety, psychotic episodes, misophonia, skin picking.. Everything in remission. I mean, I still have ADHD and aspergers, but they are in way better control than they have ever been. I never knew my brain could function this properly. The clarity. No longer constant negative thoughts. Just a clear mind. This man literally saved my life.

Itās not uncommon for people with autism to have eating disorders. Binge eating is one of them. Could be that the mother is obese and autistic. So the Ā«problemĀ» is not the obesity, but the overlooked autism in the mother and the coping mechanism she developed as a result. I donāt think people realize how much food and weight plays into mental health.

As a person with at least 50 years of depression and anxiety, with a mother who was bipolar and a father who was a narcissist; I am so happy to hear an alternative view of mental illness. I have had limited relief from antidepressants, a horrendous experience from a mood stabilizer and the expectation of dementia in the fure. I did not get married nor would I have a child, I did not wish to inflict the pain I had lived with on a partner nor on a child. I feel like I have wasted my life. Whether this persons ideas prove to be true or not, he is stating the obvious! The system for mental health is not working. As much as I hate the thought of giving up sugar I am prepared to try the ketogenic diet to attempt to have peace in this latter partof my life. Thanks.

I struggled with mental illness from age 16-38 until I related diet to my illness. After years of inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations and medications of every kind I decided to do a 21 day water fas and it completely reset my brain and body. I have been medication free for 8 years and the bipolar symptoms went from a level ten to a level one. The symptoms that do occur are very easy to recognize and confront. When manic, I read more, exercise moreā¦if Iām blue, I watch my diet. Sugar was my worst enemy. #feelingbetter

I am a food addict and in a 12-step recovery program called Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous.
My physical and mental health problems were dramatically increased by eating sugar and flour addictively. I am now 140lb lighter, physically the healthiest and mentally making massive gains week to week.
My inflammation, headaches, diabetes, back pain, mental exhaustion, anxiety disorder, and social isolation are gone.
Food (flour/sugar) addiction is right up there with alcoholism and drug addiction as a destructive force in the world. Look at the obesity and diabetes statistics in the United States.

It is sky rocketing because people like myself and lots of people I know weren't diagnosed as children. We were not obviously autistic/ADHD enough to be diagnosed. In school we DID fall through the cracks. We were massively let down by all those teachers who you say didn't ignore us. Yes they didn't ignore us, they just labelled us as problematic children. I left school with no qualifications. My nan who is quite severely autistic, never got a diagnosis until she was into her late 70's. This is why the rates are rising because society is becoming more knowledgeable...Thank god.

I was in and out mental breakdowns that had caused me to have insomnia, be suicidal and self mutilating/destructive; thank goodness, I did not comply in taking the drugs, and thank God, I was not locked up as I had been threatened. Moral support from genuinely caring people, meditation and change in what I eat have been the main reasons I am still here and loving life again.

35 years in the classroom teaching 8th graders. No doubt there is a much higher incidence of mental health issues. Teachers are struggling to deal with these issues and leaving the classroom, unfortunately. I retired last year and miss the kids, but don't miss the stress of the work. Mental health, in my students, were a significant part of that stress.

This is a powerful listen. I can feel the pain and brokenness in his voice.
At 42 and suffering from mental health issues since childhood, I've attended countess therapies, most effective was self funded, but I don't ever feel whole.. more symptoms alleviated for a short while.
Keep up the fight Chris, you're saving more people than you realise

My brother was diagnosd with bipolar disorder and put on drugs by a psychiatrist. He became more and more ill. He became reclusive and had tremors so bad he couldn't even function. He was on that medication for 10 years and as a family we could see the medication was making him sick but were scared to push him or even say much about him going off it because we were afraid that we would be giving him advice that could be harmful. Afterall shouldn't the doctors know what they are doing. His lack of motivation and reclusivity lead to extreme weight gain and heart disease. His heath deteriorated drastically. Finally one day he told them he was no longer taking the medication. His mood and disposition improved. He still is recovering because he was isolated for so long and his health is so bad now but his mental health has improved drastically. It's so sad to me how he could be abused by the medical system in such a way. Watching this videohas affirmed many things for me.

I had been on prescription drugs for anxiety for over 40 years and had suffered with alcohol and food addiction. Then I took control of my diet and eliminated ALL ultra processed foods and ate just meat, eggs and seafood. I healed my painful guts and weaned myself odd of my anxiety meds. My circumstances have not changed but my anxiety has GONE itās a miracle for me.
