Marine Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Several promising studies investigated marine omega-3 fatty acids (ie, fish oil) in borderline personality disorder (BPD), but overall effects remain unclear. The aim of this study was to obtain estimates of effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids in BPD using meta-analysis, with a priori differentiation of affective, impulsive, and cognitive-perceptual symptom domains.

Data Sources: We performed a literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE, using terms related to BPD and omega-3 fatty acids.
