AB  - Studies investigating the effectiveness of the ketogenic diet in thetreatment of depression and mood disorders bring to mind thepossibility that a healthy individual may develop a mood disorderafter a ketogenic diet. In this study, for the first time in the literature,it was aimed to investigate mood disorders in psychiatrically healthyindividuals who are following a ketogenic diet. Volunteers betweenthe ages of 18-65, who went on a ketogenic diet without medicalpurposes, were included in the study and asked to answer web-basedquestions including the “Mood Disorder Questionnaire”. Sixtyparticipants, who did not have any known psychiatric illnesses, andwho did not use any psychiatric medications were included. Themean duration of the participants' ketogenic diet was 5.7 months.The ratio of the mood disorder was found to be 26.7%. A statisticaldifference was found between mood disorder and age (p=0.029); butno significance was detected between mood disorder and gender,body mass index, obesity and diet durations. Those with positivemood disorders were more active, more social and talkative, moreself-confident, less sleepy, more interested in sexuality, spent moremoney, easily distracted, thoughts were faster in their minds and allthese differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). The presentstudy found the rate of mood disorders to be 26.7% in individualswho were following a ketogenic diet. This reveals the necessity ofscreening for mood disorders in individuals on ketogenic diet andthe necessity of avoiding ketogenic diet in patients at risk.
