OMEGA-3 Numerous studies connect low dietary consumption of omega-3 fatty acids with depression. Countries with high consumption of seafood, high in omega-3 fatty acids, have lower rates of bipolar and unipolar depression, post-partum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. Studies of the fatty acid status in psychiatric patients have shown that depressed patients have lower levels of EPA and DHA. This connection has been demonstrated in mild depression, major depression, seasonal depression, post-partum depression, and in suicide.
