They are essential for the production of serotonin, the stable mood neurotransmitter

if you have low serotonin production u will end up with impulsivity, anxiety, and u'll be higher inhib

also for sleep since serotonin converts to melatonin, which is released at night to prepare your body for sleep

not essential but a lot of people who are anti carb are okay with eating small amounts of fruit (eating more during the summer and less during winter). Carbs promote fat storage.

You can go without it, you’ll be severely fatigued though
