I'm angry and need your help

*I forgot to mention that the Maryland Psychiatric Society, representing 775 psychiatrists in the state of Maryland, formally requested that the research be allowed to continue as well.

Researcher at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore here- I’ll be signing. My brother has schizoaffective disorder and I’m appalled at the lack of treatment options and lack of research.

[shieh.]

Signed! I have family with this illness and will 100% fight for more information on anything that can make the lives of those with this illness better.

[microhoarray]

today i watch this viral video titled as “I Was An MIT Educated Neurosurgeon Now I'm Unemployed And Alone In The Mountains How Did I Get Here?” and the context of this video immediately reminded me what you said about the keto versus drugs. he was exposing the same problems not as patient but as a doctor and he couldn’t bear with it eventually quit his job.

[beab]

I know first hand how important these studies are because while his psychiatrist refused to even listen to my bipolar son's request to be followed while trying the ketogenic diet.
He did it anyway, he is symptom free since 2 years with zero medication.

[nemellotus]

Signed!! no one seems to be putting as much effort into figuring this illness out. Applaud you for your ideas and thought and “testing” you yourself are working through with the diet. Research should never stop.

[PeekaBootique]

Signed. Thank you for keeping us updated on the status of Schizoaffective treatment. You are amazing and I appreciate your efforts in this process.

[islandia]

Signed! It hurts me as a person diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder how little research goes into honouring lived experience and improving our quality of life and how much research goes into “managing” us with meds. Thanks for sharing, Lauren.

[alecaross]

My son diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, on 5 meds...highest doses yet continued to suffer until he went on a medical ketogenic diet(used in epilepsy). He has stabilized and is doing better. These trials are so important in order for clinicians to help patients reduce meds when this intervention is successful.

[letsgoeverywhere]

I'm a clinical researcher (not in the US) and I'm not sold on the efficacy of ketogenic diets for mental health disorders but it's precisely because there is not enough data. This should be studied, without interference from big pharma. Are there any international or outpatient trials?

[davidpetersen]

Signed and passed it on! Thanks for your content. Your voice is important.

[MarinaPier]

I'm on a low carb diet and it is so helpful to help mitigate mood swings. Thanks Lauren for pointing this issue out! We need more help that works not medication with horrible life long side effects. Appreciate you!!!

[feliciafreeman]

I'm glad you've gotten involved!

[yoshitam]

Signed. Thank you for updating the situation. My son has been struggling with Schizophrenia. Watching your recovery on YouTube gave me hope.

[snaify]

Signed, and donated so 1, 250 more petition views will happen. Thank you for sharing this opportunity!

[RosalindCosta-vjzq]

I have signed the petition, and donated to the cause. It is outrageous that the big pharmaceutical companies hold this much sway! Keep up your powerful work in enlightening us all, Lauren!

[amlacy]

Signed! It’s infuriating to see a study shut down like this.

[QGuides]

I’m so sick of being pissed at corporations trying to crush us for profit.

[lindah]

I haven't posted many comments on your videos but I support you! To me, it makes sense that diet would play a HUGE role in mental health. I am bipolar (just diagnosed but living with it for years) and watching your health improve over the last six months has been uplifting and given me and many others hope. No hesitation in signing the petition!

[nearrealtime]

I signed. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
