Depression is a normal response as part of our daily lives such as the loss of s job, the death of a loved one, and illness.
Over 30 million Americans suffer from depression and the amount is increasing at an alarming rate.
Depression is a mental health disorder that can affect the way you eat, sleep, and the way you feel about yourself.
The mild case of depression can be treated successfully by a variety of self-care techniques. Others require the treatment of medication, such as antidepressant medications and psychotherapy that help to reduce and sometimes eliminate the symptoms of depression.
Depression can be classified into 3 types, including
*Reactive depression
Reactive depression is the reaction caused by emotional swings affecting anyone at one time in his and her life, such as the death of a loved one, loss of financial stability, or chronic diseases.

People suffering from reactive depression may lose interest in doing things that provide pleasure. These people generally still function in daily activity normally. Most people suffering from reactive depression may see the symptoms disappear gradually over time, some may require support from others or take antidepressant medications.
* Physical depression
This type of depression is caused by chemicals imbalance in the brain as resulting from chronic illness such as hormone imbalance, immune disorder or nutritional deficiency.
People suffering from physical depression may lose interest or pleasure in almost everything and generally have a negative impact on every function in daily life.
* Manic depression
This is a severe type of physical depression. In medical terms, manic depression is characterized by wide mood swings with periods of both depressions, mania, and a variety of other significant symptoms not present in other types of depression such as the fluctuation between periods of extreme energy and vivacity with those of complete hopelessness.
Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.
The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of depression, researchers examined the effects of a combined intervention of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and psychoeducation on mild to moderate depression in workers compared to psychoeducation alone.
* Manic depression
This is a severe type of physical depression. In medical terms, manic depression is characterized by wide mood swings with periods of both depressions, mania, and a variety of other significant symptoms not present in other types of depression such as the fluctuation between periods of extreme energy and vivacity with those of complete hopelessness.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of depression, researchers examined the effects of a combined intervention of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and psychoeducation on mild to moderate depression in workers compared to psychoeducation alone.
According to the results after 12 weeks, the Beck Depression Inventory®-II (BDI-II) scores were significantly lower in the placebo and omega-3 groups, compared to their respective baseline scores.
However, after 12 weeks of treatment, there is no significant difference between both groups with respect to changes in the BDI-II scores.
In other words, a combination of omega-3 fatty acids and psychoeducation and psychoeducation alone can contribute to the improvement of symptoms in people with mild to moderate depression.
Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids used a combination with psychoeducation may be considered therapy for the treatment of depression, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
