Stop eating refined carbs and sugar. Remove rice, bread, potatoes, and any form of sugar.

Eat only meat, butter, and vegetables.

I guarantee you will feel 10x better.

Did your fatigue starts after taking the medication is it connected to the medication

Drink lots of water. Sometimes it could be dehydration.

I appreciate the warning about ultra processed sources of carbohydrates but complete elimination of rice & potatoes might leave a lot of people even more tired as it would likely create a major caloric gap  Not everyone will know how to go around that. Also, in general you would struggle to find solid evidence linking either to any health issues, especially where mental health is concerned

or he might not, don't guarantee things you might not be able to deliver. 10 times better is a BIG promise to someone suffering from OCD or Bipolar.

what's your evidence for recommending high SFA diet to someone diagnosed with mental health condition. (especially butter which is like the worst quality food for anyone to consume in excess)  Are you aware that high saturated fat diet has been linked to worsening of prognosis for a variety of psychological conditions? Will you take responsibility if he takes a dip into severe hypomania as a result of severe glucose deprivation? 

Look, I'm not going after you personally but you guys need to be more responsible with these sorts of 'all-in-or-all-out; advice. OPs fatigue could be a side effect of psychiatric medication or a hundred of other things and he needs to iron this out with a professional.
