It has been theorized that ketogenic diet could improve symptom control in patients living with anxiety disorders. Animal models support this hypothesis but to this date, studies in humans are lacking. The investigators will randomise patients with a confirmed diagnosis of anxiety disorders to follow a ketogenic diet (<50 grs of carbohydrate per day) or a conventional diet (50% carbohydrate, 30% lipids, 20% protein) for one month. Symptom control will be assessed weekly using Beck's inventory for Anxiety. Diet adherence will be measured using standardised food frequency logs and acetoacetate urine strips.
