Guess the point of studies, is to prove something is or is-not non-sense. There are a lot of different treatments for PTSD, it doesn't have to be only one. So if ketosis works for some people, that doesn't mean video games can't work for others. So if it helps some, it isn't non-sense. I think Ketosis sounds interesting, I'd hope someone would do a study on that also. Since it seems like Ketosis has been shown to help a variety of conditions, even if PTSD wasn't singled out. Here is a positive one on Ketosis. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2024/04/keto-diet-mental-illness.html https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2024/04/keto-diet-men...

There doesn't have to be a single silver bullet for PTSD. The beauty of science and medicine is that we can explore multiple avenues simultaneously. Ketosis has shown promise for some, including you, which is great. However, different people respond differently to treatments. Instead of pitting methods against each other, why not advocate for a more inclusive approach? Embracing multiple methods makes sense because PTSD is complex and affects individuals differently. The goal should be to find what works best for each individual, not to win a treatment popularity contest. Let's push for more research into all promising methods. That way, we can build a more comprehensive understanding of PTSD treatment options and hopefully help more people find relief.

Belief is irrelevant, it’s what evidence exists for that matters. Any intervention for PTSD that has an evidentiary basis and consistent effect across multiple studies is good. There is a tiny bit of that building behind Tetris as an intervention for traumatic experiences, including evidence that it may help prevent conversion of traumatic experiences into post-traumatic mental illness; be glad for that because it means people in the future may not develop PTSD at all. By any measure that potential preventative effect is more important than treatments that only work (if they work at all) for people who already have developed it, so Tetris is getting some serious research study… good, nothing to be frustrated about here. If ketosis worked for you, great, but there’s little more than exactly that anecdotal evidence yet, it needs time and investigation too.
