Omega Oils and Mental/Emotional Health and Well being
Omega oils such as omega 3 from fish and plant oils and omega 6 from plant oils have wide ranging benefits on mental health and emotional well being and balance.Many people take omega oil supplements who do not suffer from any particular medical or mental health problem, they simply take them because it makes them feel healthier, more alert and more able to function at their best. As well as this many people know about the other health benefits of omega 3 oils, in particular in relation to heart and cardiac health.
In addition, omega oil supplements have been proven as an effective treatment in many different types of mental, emotional, behavioral and mood disorders.
- ADHD, ADD
- Mild to major Depression
- Bi-polar disorder
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Addictions such as Alcoholism and Drug Abuse
This is not as surprising or as remarkable as it sounds because many of these conditions are often found together and may have similar or connected causes. For example a person suffering from depression is more likely to suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Another fact to bear in mind is that a large amount (around 8%) of the human brain is actually made from omega 3 fatty acids. It is easy to see why a deficiency may have wide ranging consequences on mental health.
Numerous scientific double blind placebo control group studies have proven that omega oils are an effective treatment for these conditions for many people. Often omega oil supplements have proved more effective than prescription drugs.
