Summary
This study looked at whether omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation and improve mood in people with treatment-resistant depression. 14 adults who were still depressed despite taking antidepressants were randomly given either omega-3 or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers measured anti-inflammatory compounds in the blood and tracked depression symptoms to see if omega-3 offered additional benefit.
