I'm convinced brain health *is* mental health. With more nuance, mental health is brain health accreted through time. Healing the brain is possible, mainstream medicine and psychiatry is entirely ignorant of this, and once the brain is healed, the learned behavior oftentimes also needs some unlearning. For this, psychedelics are the most powerful tools. I think they can also be healing to the brain, particularly psilocybin, but the ideal order in my opinion is getting the brain to homeostasis first.
The main intervention there is ketogenic dieting. Ketosis is required for brain healing, as a sick brain is an overexcited brain, to the point of toxicity.
Of course, optimal nutrient intake, particularly brain related nutrients (which is most of them, really, but omega-3 fatty acids, and, yes, cholesterol are particularly important).
