An open-label study involving Chinese adolescents with depression compared the effects of treating depressive symptoms using the antidepressant Paxil alone to those of a combination of Paxil and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplements.
The results indicated that the group receiving omega-3 supplements exhibited more significant improvements in depressive symptoms, cognitive function, and memory than the group treated solely with Paxil.
The study was published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
