A new study suggests that people at very high risk of developing psychotic disorders appear less likely to to do so after taking fish oil for three months.

The study was conducted by Dr G Paul Amminger from the Medical University of Vienna in Austria, and the Orygen Youth Health Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues, and is reported in the February issue of the JAMA/Archives journal Archives of General Psychiatry.

As Amminger and colleagues mentioned in their background information, although there is a lot of controversy surrounding the use of current antipsychotic medication to try and prevent psychotic disorders, there is evidence that early treatment in schizophrenia and other psychoses has been linked to better outcomes.

There was also some evidence that long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) could be be beneficial for schizophrenia and a range of other psychotic conditions, and noted that individuals with schizophrenia may have an underlying dysfunction in fatty acid metabolism.

So, given that omega-3 PUFAs are generally considered good for health and have no clinically relevant adverse side effects, they thought it would be worth investigating whether they might help prevent psychosis.

Their results showed that that individuals at very high risk of developing psychosis seemed less likely to develop psychotic disorders after taking a 12-week course of fish oil capsules that contained long-chain omega-3 PUFAs.
