Ketogenic Diets for Youth with Bipolar Disorder

Are you a child, teen, or young adult who experiences mood swings as a symptom of your bipolar disorder? This study may be a good fit for you.

About our study

Our goal is to see whether a 16-week ketogenic diet alongside standard clinic care is acceptable for youth with bipolar disorder and associated with improvements in their mood and health.   

We are looking for young people (ages 12-21) with bipolar disorder (or suspected bipolar disorder) who experience moods and energy that may vary from very high to very low.
