I knew that our politicians are not eating enough fish. Watch
how their eyes bulge at the coming political meetings - definitely
a deficiency in some critical nutrient like Omega-3.
Fish oil supplements 'beat psychotic mental illness
Taking a daily fish oil capsule can stave off mental illness in those at
highest risk, trial findings suggest.
A three-month course of the supplement appeared to be as effective
as drugs, cutting the rate of psychotic illness like schizophrenia by a
quarter.
The researchers believe it is the omega-3 in fish oil - already hailed
for promoting healthy hearts - that has beneficial effects in the brain.
A "natural" remedy would be welcomed, Archives of General Psychiatry
says.
"The finding that treatment with a natural substance may prevent, or at
least delay, the onset of psychotic disorder gives hope that there may be
alternatives to antipsychotic drugs," the study authors said.
If young people can be treated successfully with fish oils, this is hugely
preferable to treating them with antipsychotics.
Antipsychotic drugs are potent and can have serious side effects, which
puts some people off taking them.
Fish oil supplements, on the other hand, are generally well tolerated and
easy to take, say the scientists.
