There's at least two possible ways for it to help:
1) Feeding different gut microbes. Often, pathogenic fungi and bacteria feed on simple carbs, which are abundant in normal diets, and drive inflammation that causes mental and physical illness
2) Ketone bodies are an alternative fuel for the brain that does not rely on glucose uptake mechanisms, which are often impaired by (pre)diabetes, inflammation, shit sleep, etc. all of which are very common.

The will to live kicks in and overrides depression. Like the guy who jumped off Golden Gate Bridge who on hitting the water was filled with sudden will to live. Near death is a good cure for a lot of things. That’s why keto works.

Depressed people dehydrate and starw themselves. Starwing people (including those with eating disorders) get depressed as result of starvation.
