From Columbia Psychiatry’s Facebook: “A small new study offers preliminary evidence that fish oil supplements can prevent psychosis among young people at high risk for the condition, even seven years after taking the capsules”. In sum, fish oil protects against psychosis according to the APA President: Dr. Lieberman.

In the third edition of the Guide to Natural Mental Health: Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, Schizophrenia, and Digital Addiction: Nutrition and Complementary Therapies, this is not new news. This particular effect of the fish oil being neuroprotective has been in the book for almost two years. It turns out there’s a lot one can do for multiple mental health diagnoses, naturally.

It is great news that the American psychiatric Association president has come out and supported this type of research in the USA. Fish oil is not a drug, it’s a nutritional supplement, and it’s a very big deal to go out on a limb and recommend something that will not make the big Pharmaceuticals a lot of money.

Much respect to Dr. Lieberman!
