Improve Mental Disorders

Omega-3 fatty acids are involved in a variety of physiological functions linked to neurogenesis, neurotransmission, and neuroinflammation, and so play a critical role in brain development, function, and aging.

Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of developing psychiatric disorders in humans, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism. People with psychiatric disorders have been found to have low omega-3 levels. Omega-3 supplements may help patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have fewer mood swings and relapses, according to research. Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may also help to reduce aggressive behavior.
