> Ive read a few experiences where peoples mood benefitted from fasting. Going without food for a certain amount of time. A ketogenic diet has definitely taken the edge off of my mood problems, but after my last meal tonight around 8, im going to try at least 24 hours without food and only drinkng water. Im sure it wont be pleasent during the fast, but maybe when im done i'll benefit from it.

Have you ever tried one night's total sleep deprivation? For many people with depression, it can produce a great antidepressant effect that lasts about 1/2 the day. Sleep deprivation is obviously not a workable treatment. However, it would be interesting to know, and might provide information in the future to help choose treatments. For instance, an improvement resulting from sleep deprivation may indicate that a MAOI would be better than using a SSRI. I don't know. Some people do use occasional sleep deprivation in an effort to help their drugs work better. I don't know what to think about that. I experience an improvement with it, but I then relapse after six hours.

Just curious.
