Mental disorders have become increasingly important public health issues because they are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and account for approximately one-fifth of years lived with disability. Because of their high prevalence, mental disorders are a significant health, social, and economic burden. Good nutrition is a mainstay of physical health, and its importance in mental health is gaining increasing recognition. A growing body of evidence suggests• that there is a significant relationship between diet quality and mental disorders, and diet appears to be a potentially modifiable factor that influences the onset and outcomes of mental disorders. Dietary factors may modulate mental health not only at the individual level but also at the population level. The association that an unhealthy diet shares with impaired brain development, neuronal function, and mental health suggests that dietary improvement may have the potential to assist in the prevention and management of common psychiatric disorders.

The important role that lipids, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, play in physical health has long been recognized. The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are attributable to their anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, antithrombotic, and anti arrhythmic effects. Accordingly, these fatty acids are used in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases,

They also have anti-inflammatory action that may help retrieve depression. In human dietary deficiencies of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with an increase risk of developing various psychiatric disorder, including

They are essential for proper brain development in fetuses, babies, and toddlers, and impact brain function throughout adolescence and adulthood. They also protect against cognitive decline and dementia later in life.

An imbalance of omega-3s in your diet can lead to not only impaired brain performance but also disease. These essential fatty acids have been shown to prevent and improve several neurological conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. As we age, our brain goes through many physical and biological changes including shrinkage in volume, a loss of plasticity, and a decrease in omega-3 levels, which could contribute to overall cognitive decline. Omega-3s reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative damage which reduce the production of amyloid-β plaques in the brain. Omega-3s also increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, also known as BDNF, and improve insulin signaling. All of these positive effects are linked to decreased risk for both the development and progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.Omega-3s may also help prevent or ease depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, Alzheimer’s, and dementia; as well as reduce age-related cognitive decline (including memory and the ability to learn and process new information).

The healthiest choices for omega-3 fatty acids include fish that are rich in DHA and EPA, such as barramundi, salmon, trout and sardines; with farmed barramundi having the highest ratio of omega-3 to total fat, at 25 percent. (Barramundi also has the highest level of omega-3 fatty acids—960mg per 6 oz skinless serving*—of any commonly eaten white fish.)

While you can also get DHA and EPA from fish oil supplements (like fish oil), studies have shown that fatty acids from fish are more effectively absorbed into our system than when taken as a supplement.12 One reason for the better absorption may be due to the synergistic effect of various nutrients in fish, rather than just taking the omega-3s alone.

Vegetable oils, flaxseeds, walnuts and dark leafy vegetables are all sources of the ALA type of omega-3s, but our bodies can only turn small quantities of it into EPA and DHA, and therefore it doesn’t provide as many omega-3s as fish does.
