Article Synopsis
- Major depressive disorder (MDD) shows high treatment resistance, leading researchers to explore the connection between omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and antidepressant response in depressed individuals.
- A study involving 60 MDD patients assessed their PUFA levels alongside their responses to standard antidepressant treatments over 8 weeks, revealing significant differences between responders and non-responders.
- Findings suggest that lower baseline levels of omega-3 PUFAs, along with ratios of omega-6 to omega-3, can predict how well patients will respond to antidepressants, indicating potential dietary adjustments could help manage treatment-resistant depression.
