Ácidos grasos omega-3 y depresión: una revisión sistemática

Omega-3 fatty acids may currently appear as an adjuvant agent for the treatment of depression, with this recommendation being endorsed by several meta-analyses that involve a high level of evidence, which has led to their use being contemplated in clinical guidelines or recommendations by experts. Some meta-analyses found superiority of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) over docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and recommend a higher proportion of the former if omega-3 fatty acids are chosen as adjuvants agents in antidepressant treatment.
