Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether long-chain omega-3 fatty acids like EPA, DHA, and DPA can help reduce anxiety and depression in adults; it found some evidence that EPA, especially at doses between 1g and 2g daily, can significantly decrease depression severity.
  • The analysis showed that while EPA at certain doses and ratios may be effective for depression, there was limited evidence supporting its role in reducing anxiety, and no trials were available for DPA, highlighting gaps in research.
  • The study also noted issues like publication bias and variability among trials, emphasizing the need for more high-quality, well-designed studies to better understand the potential mental health benefits of omega-3 supplements.]
