Challenging Permanent Labels in Mental Health Treatment and the Promise of the Keto Diet

Welcome Back! Today we are interviewing Dr. Chris Aiken, Editor-in-Chief of the Carlat Psychiatry Report. We will be speaking about the broad spectrum of mood disorders, how Bipolar Disorder is different from Manic-Depressive Illness, affective temperaments, non-pharmacological treatments, and more! Dr. Aiken's new book, Difficult to Treat Depression, will be released later this year (2025).
