Omega-3s are essential constituents of cell membranes, particularly in the brain. They play an essential structural role in nerve cells.
They are not produced by our body but are found in certain fatty fish, in nuts, rapeseed…
Following a study carried out by Professor François Lespérance, head of the psychiatry department of the Center Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal, the effectiveness of omega-3s in patients with major depression without anxiety disorders has been proven in 55% of subjects. This effectiveness is comparable to that observed with conventional antidepressants, because it should be noted that they do not have effects on all patients.
However, omega-3s do not replace conventional treatment but are an alternative for patients who do not want to take antidepressants.
For some psychiatrists, they are rather appreciated as a dietary supplement and can help, in addition to treatment, to regain a healthy lifestyle just like sport.
The investigators of this study chose “OM3emotionnel” in the treatment of major depression. This pharmaceutical quality food supplement, composed of more than 90% omega-3, has no fishy aftertaste and no side effects. It has a high EPA content, with EPA having a key role in the prevention and treatment of mood disorders.
OM3emotion is available in pharmacies and parapharmacies. Do not hesitate to ask your doctor for advice.
