I have a friend who has never been officially diagnosed, but he considers himself hypomanic. A month ago he started a ketogenic diet, and he says that since then he has felt much more stable and focused. Since he started his diet, I've found it much easier to carry on lengthy conversations with him. Before, his attention would fade in and out. Also, he says that for years he thrashed around in bed all night, and the sheets would be strewn all over the place by morning. Since he began his diet, he now wakes up neatly tucked in. The book he recommends is Keto Clarity by Jimmy Moore.
Also, check out this post about how diet can affect bipolar disorder:
