Writing in Molecular Psychiatry, ​the UK-based research team explore mechanisms in the body, which omega-3 fatty acids might work to reduce inflammation or depression, providing a springboard for more focused research. “For some time we have known that omega-3 PUFA can induce anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory effects but, without further understanding of how this happens in

A recent MedicalXpress article discussed new research at the University of Illinois Chicago focused on treating depression linked to alcohol use disorder. When someone experiences withdrawal from long-term alcohol use, depression is a common side effect that leads to more drinking to self-medicate.
