May help prevent and treat depression

Depression is a common mental disorder. Low mood, sadness, decreased energy, and a loss of interest in life and activities are all symptoms of depression. Depression is one of the world's most serious health concerns.

People who consume fish on a daily basis are less prone to get depressed, according to studies. Omega-3 fatty acids have also been shown in numerous controlled trials to help fight depression and improve the effectiveness of antidepressant medications. One research has found that people who consumed the most fish lowered their risk of depression by 17% compared to those who ate the least. Other mental disorders, such as bipolar disorder, may benefit from fish and omega-3 fatty acids.
