Yes! It helps rebuild and protect brain cells.
Here's a good link... at least it is a link for now (it's on a blog) "Fish Oil": $$ and Favorite Brands of Omega-3 Supplements -- http://itsnotmental.blogspot.com/2008/02/fish-oil-and-favorite-brands-of-omega-3.html It has discussion and links and the site is really about children.I've read about studies showing that SSRIs may do something similar to fish oil (but maybe not as safely) - in that it helps regrow brain connections.
I have to say, though, it was not enough for the child I know and it took years for the doctors to figure out something as simple as she needed thyroid hormone.
