In response to your question, "Were anyone else's mental problems helped by going on SCD/GAPS diet",

Yes, yes, and yes. But everyone is different, so you may have to tweak. There IS a brain-bowel connection and a healthy gut helps a healthy liver and a healthy brain/mind. When those things are in order, you'll be more alive, energetic, alert, positive, and grow self-esteem and confidence a lot quicker.
