10 Natural Antidepressants
Antidepressant #4: Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that can be divided into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and alpha linolenic acid (ALA). EPA and DHA are primarily found in some fish while ALA can be found in plant sources such as seeds and nuts.
Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for the body to function. They also lead to health benefits such as lowering elevated triglyceride levels, help with visual and neurological development in infants, decrease joint pain and stiffness in arthritis, and lower levels of depression. They also boost the effects of antidepressants.
