Is it everyone, or just anecdotal, whose mind clears on keto? thinks more clearly etc.?

I have tried keto and given up before, but I've been reading about the clearer mind some folks have, and if it's practically everyone who experiences this after 1-2 weeks (I never got that far) then I will have a major motivation to try again. Please let me know both if your mind is clearer and if it isn't. Also, does anyone have a mood disorder (depression, bipolar, schizophrenia) that has improved with keto? Thanks so much!

    I felt like at first I felt somewhat clearer, but I was very depressed when I began.

    I’m on day 4 or 5, and my mind is super clear today. Clearer than it’s been in a looong time. Yesterday and the day before I suffered TERRIBLY  from the keto flu. The nausea, dizziness, stomach distress, and muscle cramps eased up last night. I had insomnia and got literally NO sleep, but I’m not tired at all. I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar (I mostly suffer from depression and anxiety, though—rarely mania). Normally when I don’t feel the need for sleep it’s a sign of mania, but I’m not experiencing any other symptoms. I’m interested to see what kind of effect this diet will have on my mood.
