Fish oil tested as new hope for stubborn depression

NCT ID NCT05774665

Summary

This study is testing whether adding high-dose omega-3 fish oil supplements to standard antidepressant medication can help people with depression that hasn't fully responded to treatment. Researchers want to see if the supplements reduce body inflammation and if that reduction is linked to feeling better. About 80 adults who are overweight and have signs of inflammation will take either the omega-3 supplement or a placebo pill for 12 weeks while continuing their regular medication.
