| Fatty Acid Effective Against Depression
[2004-07-22 13:11:27]
A FATTY ACID FOUNF IN FISH OIL may help relieve the symptoms of depression. Seventy people with depression that had persisted despite treatment with standard medication were randomly assigned to receive the fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) or placeto for 12 weeks, in addition to their antidepressant medication. The group receiving 1 gm of EPA per day had a significantly better outcome on each of three different rating scales for depression within four weeks of the start of treatment, and even more pronounced improvement. Sixty-nine percent of the participants treated with 1 gm og EPA per day experienced a clinically significant improvement (at least a 50% reduction on the Familton Detression Rating Scale).
