Hi Doctors,
Would you recommend fish oil for major depression?
Hi Doctors,
Would you recommend fish oil for major depression?
Nope. I think if you check out the full paper you’ll identify some major issues in inferring that n-3’s uniquely help in this condition.
Overall, the existing evidence does not show a benefit over placebo with fish oil.
Can the same be said about anti-depressant medication—that SSRIs mainly elicit a placebo effect?
Based on existing evidence, I could not say that.
