Omega 3 and depression
16 Aug 2007
A review by scientists in Taiwan suggests that omega-3 fatty acids have antidepressant effects. Dr Pao-Yen Lin of Chang Gung University College of Medicine in Kaohsiung, and Dr Kuan-Pin Su of China Medical University Hospital in Taichung, conclude that it is not possible without further study to say omega-3 will treat depression or bipolar disorder, But they believe such work is warranted. Their results appear in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
