I think the debate goes on with empirically based and peer reviewed analyses is because those guys get large grants from 'big pharma' to run multiple studies and clinical trials for their meds, not to mention the seminars, trips and large bonuses some doctors get for 'getting on board.' Big Pharma holds seats on the FDA. SSRIs, SNRIs are a 16.5 billion dollar a year industry, so what do you think they're gonna go with? There are great, natural anxiety reducing supplements, like magnesium, 3-n-butylphthalides found in celery. Celery juice is a wonderful tonic for anxiety and lowers blood pressure and cleanses the liver. Niacinamide(Vitamine B3) is great for anxiety, because this is almost always low in anxiety sufferers. use Niacinamide or Inositol hexanicotinate, not Nicotinic acid, this is used to lower high cholesterol and will cause flushing. Niacinamide and Inositol are non flush(redness in the face, itching) types or just take a B50 or B100 complex. A high quality B complex, especially in liquid form shows the biggest improvement the most rapidly, usually within a few days to a week. Take with food or agitation is a possibility. L-Taurine has shown very good results with anxiety, as it suppresses the effect of norepinephrine and removes fatty deposits in the liver. It has also shown to reduce cravings for carbs and helps with alcohol cessation. L-glutamine is also helpful, as it stimulates GABA, but start slow because it also stimulates glutamate, which is a trigger for anxiety. All of these are very inexpensive, so if you could take something that is all natural and has multiple benefits and virtually no side effects when taken properly, as compared to a med that is highly promoted and marketed by the large pharmaceuticals and chock full of side effects like insomnia, agitation, loss of libido, weight gain, sometimes worsening of symptoms, which would you go with? And Big Pharma won't fund intense studies on naturals because they can't patent it and 'own' it. But I digress, fish oil is very good for you. Just make sure you get a high quality, purified 'burpless' brand, cause the 'fish burps' ain't no fun. Fish oil is very good.

I can't say whether or not these supplement changes are the cause, but I know I have had more of an elevated mood since taking these supplements than I have had in a long, long time. I did not take the fish oil and B-vitamin after reading this website or any other website - I actually remembered reading about the importance of proper nutrition in a mental health book I read years ago, so I decided to try adding these supplements to the multivitamin that I was already taking. My reason for posting is to respond that, for me, consuming fish oil supplements has (so far) seemed to give me the boost I need in battling my general sense of anxiety and depression. It isn't some life-changing thing, but I have definitely noticed an overall lift in my mood and sense of well-being - and I noticed this far before I read articles like this - so I don't think it is just a placebo effect. I urge anyone to consider adding fish oil supplements to your diet. Unless you have a very specific medical condition that warrants not trying it, what do you have to lose? It's worth a shot!

I read it also protects against concussions. Been using Carlson liquid, it works well. Will use the DHA 500 mg capsules soon. I tried Nature Made and it didn't do much for me. Have you heard of Holosync? That has lowered my stress levels significantly as well. I have PTSD and it is a life saver. Began taking fish oil and feel more confident and balanced.

Fish oil, along with a proper diet, can make a bigger difference than people realize for many conditions.

I will post here again in a few weeks to note any mental effect of these pills. So far I have noticed my skin is so much smoother and softer. I am taking 3 pills a day. 2 at lunch And 1 at dinner.
