How much meat does she eat? If she is not eating red meat every day, she may be anemic or low in the B vitamins. BOTH are ESSENTIAL for proper mental health. I was like your daughter when I was 13-18. I came out of it with a vitamin/mineral regimen and changing my diet to focus on meat instead of grains and fruit. My brain literally started to think differently, more clearly and logically instead of getting tripped up with unreasonable thoughts, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, etc.

Please look for a good multi vitamin with MINERALS like iron, copper, molybdenum, etc. Make sure it has the B vitamins. Look up the work Dr. Berg has shared on vitamins and minerals. Disregard the keto suggestion for now, PLEASE just focus on learning about vitamin and mineral deficiencies because I bet your daughter has at least one and it is manifesting as mental illness.

What is her sleep like? Does she keep good sleep hygiene? How much red meat does she eat daily? How often does she eat fish? If she does not like the taste of meat or seems to have meat aversion, this ALSO can be caused by low zinc and iron. It is a problem that only gets worse as you do not treat it.

God bless you and please feel free to email me if you have questions: abauerroffy@gmail.com
