An international team using a study group of 81 people in the "high-risk" category for developing mental illness, treated 1/2 with fish oil supplements, and the other half with a placebo, and found that about 1 in 4 high-risk adults could be "protected" from developing mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, by the treatment.
The team considered those with a family history of mental illness, as well as those already exhibiting signs of mental illness, fit the high-risk category. The tested group was treated for three months, and monitored by the team for a year.
Antipsychotic medications often cause more harm than good.
