According to researchers from Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of California, San Francisco:
Women with the highest intake of oily fish reduced their number of depressive moments by 25 per cent, while a high intake of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA reduced this number by 29 per cent.
"Our results are consistent with [...] other epidemiologic studies that have examined the association of fish intake or dietary omega-3 PUFAs with depressive disorders or mental disorders. In addition, several small, randomized, double-blind trials found that adjunctive treatment with omega-3 PUFAs improved depression."
However, the same results have not been found in men.
