Can Omega-3 Fatty Acids Treat Depression– Study Seeks Volunteers
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences are seeking participants for a clinical trial to find out if omega-3 fatty acids– found naturally in fish oil, flaxseed and walnuts–may counteract depression.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored study, held in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital, will recruit a total of 300 adults ages 18-80 who are experiencing significant symptoms of major depressive disorder and are in good health. The five-year study is designed to test the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of DHA and EPA against each other and a placebo. Participants will receive one of the two drugs or a placebo for eight weeks in a randomized, double-blind manner.
If you want to participate, call 1-888-CEDARS3 for more information.
