Arrow Fish Oil May Reduce Psychosis

Fish Oil May Reduce Psychosis

Fish oil has also been found to reduce the risk of psychosis in people who are at high risk, such as those who suffer from schizophrenia and other disorders.

An international research team gave either fish oil or placebo to 41 individuals; less than 5% of those in the fish-oil group became psychotic after 12 weeks, compared with more than 22% in the placebo group (Archives of General Psychiatry 2010; 67(2):146-54).

A person is said to be in psychosis when they are out of touch with reality, such as someone who is suffering from hallucinations. In addition to mental illnesses, psychosis can also result from brain damage or tumors, drug abuse and severe stress or sleep deprivation.

Omega 3 is good for the brain. The brain needs good fats and some of the disorders that are attributed to mental illness are from vitamin, and mineral deficiencies. With the high amount of processed foods, and medications we will see a rise in the number of psychological disorders.

Look at all the children being given labels and put on medications. Fish oil is probably one of the best supplements for brain health. In fact it has been shown to work as well as some prescriptions.

There was a study done at the University of South Australia. Researchers there tested a combination of omega-3 fish oil and evening primrose oil (an omega-6 oil) on 132 children with ADHD, ranging in age from seven to 12. After the 30-week study ended, almost half the parents reported that their children's symptoms were improved.

There is some research that proves it works for ADHD better than prescriptions.
