Oh my Omega 3

A new study has shown that omega 3 fatty acids such as those found in fish and flaxseed can be beneficial in the prevention of psychotic disorders. The study focused on individuals aged 13 to 25 with "subthreshold psychosis" (meaning they we're displaying enough symptoms to be classified as having full blown psychosis but were classified as ultra high risk). Subjects were either given 1.2g (4 standard strength fish oil tablets) per day of omega 3 or a placebo for 12 weeks, and then were monitored for a following 40 weeks. By the end of the 52 week study only 2 out of 41 (4.9%) in the Omega 3 group had transitioned to psychotic disorder compared to 11 of the 40 (27.5%) in the placebo group.
