A new study suggests that fish oil could be the key to a safe and effective form of treatment for young people with schizophrenia. ...I can see where this might upset the mega pharmas, but stiff. Anything cheap that helps mental illnesses is worth a Nobel Prize IMHO (which isn't humble at all really). I bought a container today - not that I'm a twenty-first century schizoid man you understand but the oil seems to help lots of conditions that I do happen to have. So hoorah.
Seventy-six people completed the study and of the group, 41 were given fish oil tablets four times a day for three months. The rest were given a placebo.
Of the group that took the fish oil capsules, only two had developed a psychotic disorder after a year, while of the placebo group, 11 went on to develop some kind of psychosis. ABC
