Keto Diet and mental health?

Cici

According to the book Tools of Titans (which introduces habits&life routines of 61 successful, renowned people, including health. Keto diet is introduced as some of the "titans" health secret for losing weight & increased oxygen use efficiency personally testified) talks about how the diet made the author mentally more alert & acutely focused. It's one individual story. 
However, we should also consider the stress the diet causes people since they're very limited on carbs & carbs are well known to uplift moods.
Many talk about how they get cranky without carbs but once they eat carbs, their moods go up & they're satiated & happy.
There are various aspects revolving keto diet.

It might make you feel better about yourself health wise, but you'll still be missing out on foods you normally would be able to eat due to diet restrictions. It's up to you imo

It probably would have a negative affect due to restricting your favourite snacks

Penso che ogni giorno bisogna essere sempre più convinti che la dieta faccia effetto, senza ripensamenti

While many people experience positive mood and mental well being effects, not everyone will react the same way.

There isn't enough research been conducted yet to conclude either way.When on the keto fiet your body turns fat in the liver into ketosis to provide energy to the brain.Although one study found keto diet to help with alzheimers overall mental health improvement hasn't been studied enough.Some people report 'keto flu' whereby the diet can cause brain fog and poor mental focus.If you have mental health concerns I'd personally avoid keto and just watch calories intake and do more general exercise which helps improve my mental health massively.

I wonder if studies has been done to show the effect that keto diet have on mental health (concentration, thought processing)

I admit, I didn't know about the Keto Diet until today. However, exercise and adding healthy habits always has the potential to improve mental health. 

Personally, I think it may harm a person's mental health. Just due to the restrictions and possible guilt over not sticking to the diet. Exercise is great for mental health though, for sure!!
